I can't find or recall this - do you have a log/date?

The lates plexus-utils blows up the testing harness too because it

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.
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.
