The maven-rar-plugin also need to get released. 2.1 has a nasty bug
that causes it to include .svn junk. Fixed in 2.2-SNAPSHOT

Jason,
Ok, I spent a little time rounding up some people to take on releases
and we have the following:
maven-dependency-plugin: John Tolentino
maven-surefire-plugin: Kenney
maven-pmd-plugin: Joakim
maven-checkstyle-plugin: Joakim
maven-release-plugin: Jason
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.

And seeing as I found people for those you are going to do the maven-
assembly-plugin :-)
We'll all start working next week and release them as soon as we can.
Jason.
1) maven-dependency-plugin - this one actually has docs on
maven.apache.org
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/).
However, it
doesn't actually exist. It's NEVER been released. The only
released
version available is the older "mojo" versions that don't have all
the new goals documented at apache.org. Anyway, having a plugin
listed at
apache.org that doesn't actually exist is probably not a good thing.
2) surefire - the 2.2 version is pretty much un-usable in a reactor
build
with reporting turned on as all the tests are "cumulative" and you
get results from previous modules in the current module. We've
had
to force the usage of 2.1.3. Also, JUnit 4 would be nice. :-)
(one
project I'm involved in has almost abandoned the ant -> maven
transition
due to lack of JUnit 4 support)
3) PMD - pmd 3.8 was released a few weeks ago. Updating the
plugin just
to use 3.8 would be nice as it fixes several problems with JDK 1.5
code.
(Requires 3.8 being added to central)
4) Assembly - hasn't been released since May. The SNAPSHOTS have
some fixes that were required by tuscany. Not sure the details.
However, they cannot use the release plugin due to the snapshot
dependency. (not
that they could use the release plugin anyway due to previously
documented issues with the release plugin and the apache processes)
I'm sure other people have more plugins they'd like to see
released. I
know a bunch of the maven folks are hard at work on things like
Archiva,
Maven 2.1, rsync improvements, etc... However, IMO, the current
plugins
aren't receiving the love and attention they need and the community
is suffering for it.
Maybe I should find some time to help out.... :-(
