Wow. Excellent. I think someone mentioned a bug in the war plugin that needs to be fixed as well. :-) One thing to keep in mind... After Nov 1, 2006, all releases MUST have the proper Apache license/notice files in the META-INF dir (see [1]) which none of the above plugins currently do. Thus, all of the above folks will need to coordinate how they want that done. Maybe add the apache license injection plugin thing we discussed earlier added to the above list. Either that, or get them released by Tuesday :-). Thanks a lot for taking all this on.
