Hi folks! Is there any maven-core or maven-shared release pending? I'd like to start with moving all maven stuff from plexus-utils to maven-shared-utils.
The reason is simple: 1.) It always got argued that we cannot just replace plexus-utils because we don't know how many plugins are using it. And people feared about side effects which could harm stability. As we do this now in a whole new module with a new package name we can really easily upgrade that stuff to proper 2012 style and don't need to keep em 2005ish anymore ;) 2.) For implementing the incremental build stuff I need a few classes extended, and the only way we can guarantee this to be reliably available is to host this stuff in maven itself (where it was originally hosted btw - 80% of the plexus utils code is a fork of old ant/jakarta/commons stuff). And since the codehaus repo got closed down silently I have no confidence in that stuff anymore. I locally already upgraded a few maven-shared libs without any problems. I think we can get this done in 1 week + another week of cleaning up the obsolete code as Kristian proposed in the other mail. Wdyt? When may I start with the transition?
