+1 for retired
On the Debian package management system (and probably in others)
there's a way to define a package as providing another package's
functionality, allowing superseding of information.
Could there be a somewhat identical feature in maven which would
enable it to automatically detect that the plugin has now moved
somewhere else? I am not sure how this would fit with the current
implementation and the implicit location of the packages on the remote
repositories. As maven searches in the old location, there would need
to be some sort of link from the old to the new, which somewhat
inverts the dependency between the superseder and deprecated as used
in the deb format.
Maybe a feature to implement in the repository manager, using some sort of
<overrides>
<override>
<groupId>...
<artifactId>...
<version>[1.0; 3.0(...
</override>
in the overriding POM
and some backlinks added by the repo manager when the overriding POM
is added to the repository ?
I would love maven to tell me: warning this dependency is obsolete.
Cheers,
Jerome
