I'm just a bit behind on mail, but need a clarification - in Maven the XSD is an end result of the model that is generated, but you seem to describe it here as an input. Am I misreading? If you're suggesting a change to the model that is backwards compat API-wise with 4.0.0, and has identical behaviour (or graceful degradation) when read from the repository by <= 3.0.3, then I don't see any problem with a particular change. - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
