Just a quick inquiry...
I'll let folks update these themselves
maven-dependency-plugin: John Tolentino or Brian Fox
Brian Fox is taking care of this one. John is working on the WAR plugin.
maven-surefire-plugin: Kenney
maven-pmd-plugin: Joakim
maven-checkstyle-plugin: Joakim
maven-release-plugin: Jason
I'm starting to work on this today.
maven-rar-plugin: ?
Stephane Nicoll is now going to take care of this one.
maven-war-plugin: ?
John Tolentino is working on this and he says he's getting close to
completion.
maven-assembly-plugin: ?
No one has volunteered yet to do this one.
Any updates on the status' of these releases?
I know Maven 2.0.5 was also added into the mix of stuff going on. I
must admit, I'm quite excited to see things happening after a long
time
of very few releases. However, stretching people too thin so nothing
gets completed would be bad.

The particular feature we're most interested in is for it to insert
explict versions of the build plugins while creating the release
POM. This is a necessary prerequisite to having truly repeatable
builds. There are comments in the code to the effect that this
feature is planned, but I can't seem to find the JIRA issue that
tracks it...

While we're on the subject, what about some of the other plugins
that
haven't seen action in a while or have other major issues:
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
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.... :-(
