This plugin can build a subset of interdependent projects in a reactor. It should be useful in large reactor builds that include irrelevant stuff you're not working on.

A few important notes:

* This is maven-reactor-plugin's first official release. I know it's traditional for us to call the first few releases 1.0-alpha-X for a while, but it can often be difficult to decide when to drop the "-alpha" qualifier, and I don't think very many people actually like that old tradition. :-)

* One weird thing about the maven-reactor-plugin is that three of its goals (reactor:make, reactor:make-dependents, reactor:resume) are now features in the maven-2.1.x branch; they will presumably get released as part of 2.1.0-M2.

I still think this plugin is worth releasing, for three reasons:

1) reactor:make-scm-changes will probably never become part of the Maven core, and probably should never, so at least one goal has long term value.

2) While I'd expected most people to use this goal from the command- line, it will also work wired up as part of a POM, e.g. as the default goal for particular profiles. The new core features are command-line only.

3) A lot of people are on 2.0 and may be on 2.0 for a while yet (even if we release 2.1 very quickly).

There are still a couple of issues left in JIRA:

The biggest remaining issue is MREACTOR-1. It's pretty bad, but I don't think it should hold up a 1.0 release.
