I'd like to call a vote to release maven-dependency-plugin 2.0-alpha-1.
Although nearly completely covered with unit tests, I'm still calling
this alpha for now since there are a few goals to be added in the next
version before it's considered API stable.

Jira Issues

stem.project:roadmap-panel
Things of note:
- This will be the first release of this plugin from maven-plugins and
will supercede the codehaus version. Getting a release out there will
greatly reduce the confusion over the move from codehaus to apache.
- This also represents a near complete rewrite from the 1.0 version, but
the core functionality remains the same and is fully covered in unit
tests.
- the license headers and notice files have been updated and are
included in the jar
- the remaining jira issues are non critical or edge cases and will be
addressed in the next version
- when the release is done, the metadata needs to be updated in codehaus
and apache repos so that "mvn dependency:xxx" finds the new one because
in 2.0.4 it looks in codehaus first.
