Sounds good to me. I haven't quite followed the discussion on release plans recently but it's still itching me to get doxia released.

Just a few comments:

- I proposed on the doxia-dev list to release the alpha branch as 1.0 final but haven't gotten any feedback. I think it's a good idea, doxia-alpha has been used long enough now...

- for bumping to doxia-beta: together with site-plugin, we also need releases of PIR-plugin and doxia-tools with upgraded doxia

- I had created branches for site and pir plugins with doxia-beta-1, and tested them with then-maven-2.0.11-SNAPSHOT. I haven't looked at it for a while but I guess the prereq for those are now going to be 2.1-SNAP?

Cheers,
-Lukas

+1 to all, with one small addition/alteration to (2).

I would pursue 2.1 along the "current" codeline. As far as doxia upgrades go, I would prefer we investigate a proper separation in Maven core for 2.2 (or if anyone can get it done faster, 2.1).

On that note, to date I don't understand exactly why the Doxia beta was required to introduce an incompatibility (because I haven't done the research), but learning from what seemed "like a good idea at the time" in Wagon-land I'd say it's better to release the compatible version as 1.0 to avoid confusion and move the next to 1.1-beta-1.

Cheers,
Brett

Hello

With the new release plan in place for Maven core I think we need to
make a similar plan for Maven Site Plugin. Because Maven 2.1 will
upgrade to Doxia 1.0-beta-1, the Site Plugin needs to do the same at
some point. We just need to find the right point in time for it.

Here's what I propose, starting with the most distant version:

1. There is a version 2.0 in JIRA. Change this to 2.2. This version  will
use Doxia 1.0 final. This might mean that it will also require a newer
version of Maven itself (2.2 perhaps).

2. Create a 2.1 version in JIRA and move MSITE-298 & company (6 other
issues) to that version. MSITE-298 is the upgrade to Doxia 1.0-beta-1
issue. This version of the Site Plugin will require Maven 2.1. I would
also like to push the rest of the issues scheduled for 2.0-beta-8 to
this version: MSITE-3, MSITE-129, MSITE-135, MSITE-136, MSITE-163,
MSITE-177, MSITE-194

3. Change the current trunk in SVN from 2.0-beta-8-SNAPSHOT to
2.0-SNAPSHOT. This will be the stable release for Maven 2.0.x users.
Issues that I think needs fixing: MSITE-141


A couple of notes:

A. We really need to get out of the alpha/beta business.

B. As you can see the versions line up nicely with the versions of  Maven
itself. Yes, that's by design :-)


Please let me know what you think!

If people like this idea I will put a proposal on the Wiki.
