Is that patch still pending, or has it been applied? I can grab it and process it if necessary...

Sure. I've been thinking that the standard rules should come out of the plugin into a separate module too. The thing I'd ultimately like to do
is be able to release the rules separate from the plugin since the
majority of changes occur to the rules.
The problem is that I'd like to be able to default the enforcer to the current ruleset at release time (for ease of use), but somehow allow the users to be able to change the ruleset version if they wanted. I think if a plugin sets a dependency, then it's not possible to override it
during use. Any ideas how this could be accomplished?

I think plugin deps _should_ be overridable in the dependencies section
within the plugin tag.
Perhaps adding a depMgt for those deps works too - it works as an override
for transitive deps, and if the current pom is used as the start of
plugin resolution it will be applied, but i'm not sure..
To get this to work in a nice way maven will need to be fixed, I think.

Can this ability be added in maven 2.1 ? It seems like it makes sense to treat plugin dependencies like regular dependencies meaning that you should be able to exclude or override certain plugin dependencies. It would help with a few of the projects within JBoss.


Eric actually patched it back to do that a while ago and I think we can do it 2.0.8. It used to work and is infinitely useful. Not sure when it got crippled.

Brian,

Can we follow the same pattern we use for Surefire, and the Release tools where they are all collected together under one umbrella. I was playing around with the enforcer and then noticed I need something from shared and looking at them together is hard, one being in a plugin and one being in shared. Can we put them together and follow the same pattern for a toolset?

Thanks,

Jason
