However, i'm not sure if it was intended to be picked up by the
whole maven user population?
It is as a consequence of Maven auto-updating which we recognize as a
problem.
The problem has been fixed and we'll get a release out ASAP.
This is because:
- There is no backwards compatability, suddenly maven no longer
works as it used to
- The documentation on the new plugin has lots of broken links in it
and is unusable
- The archetype guides on the main maven site are now all incorrect
All will be back to regularly scheduled programming with the alpha-2.
Surely all this needed to be fixed before the whole community
started using the new plugin?
I understand that the plugins are alpha versions and can change, but
to suddenly make things alot worse wasn’t a great experience.
Apologies for moaning about an improvement to the tool!
