Jason,

 Couldn't we enforce the usage of something like jdiff to check if there's
an incompatibility between releases.
 It something that we already had (incompatibility of m1 plugins with
m1.0.x whereas m1.1 isn't released) and which is really damaging for our
community.

Hi,

The current release of the Surefire plugin is a bit a nightmare with
respect to backward compatibility. The problem is incompatible
changes made to plexus-utils. The most current release will work with
2.0.5 because it still uses plexus-utils 1.1 but with the upgraded
plexus-utils in trunk in fork mode will make it blow up. I'm trying
to fix this now as in fork mode the branch and trunk now fail because
1.1 and 1.4 of plexus utils have changes in the command line classes.
I am doing some magic with Torsten's Minijar plugin on the trunk, but
for the branch I don't know if we want to employ this but with plexus-
utils 1.4 there now we're going screw everyone. John and Kenney
chatted about it briefly but we probably want to address this quickly
and in a new release of surefire.

Thanks,

Jason.
