Jason,
Couldn't we enforce the usage of something like jdiff to check if
there's
an incompatibility between releases.
Yup, we could use that or Clirr as Vincent suggested. That's one part of
the answer. The separate integration tests are another part and we'll
get there. The plugins released need to be exercised against released
and upcoming versions.
Just to stress the importance of the integration tests: surefire depends
on plexus-utils 1.1, but that is NOT the version it's running against
as currently maven's plexus-utils is used. Up till now this version matched,
but other plugins (like release) require newer versions of p-u.
Also, most plugins depend on maven-* 2.0; again the actual version used
depends on the maven installation. For these artifacts, clirr or jdiff
would be appropriate, but again, integration tests against all released
maven versions is necessary.

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.
Yes, I think Torsten's awesome minijar plugin is going to be very handy.
I'm about to check into trunk some plugin configurations which will hide
some common dependencies which cause problems. Plexus Utils being one of
them.

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.
