Hello,

Is there a release plan for the 2.3 version of the Taglist Plugin?  It has
been a while since the last release, and there is at least one issue that
other plugins are waiting on.  I understand that everyone is busy and
working hard, but can someone apply the pending patches and perform the 2.3
release?

Because everyone is busy, I thought I would try to help by listing my
opinions on the 10 open issues for the Taglist plugin.  I've broken down
the issues into four categories:
 blocker  - must be in 2.3 release
 major    - should be in 2.3 release
 minor    - if there is time put in 2.3 release
 postpone - do NOT put in 2.3 release.

Obviously, if you decide not to put a major or minor in the 2.3 release, it
would be nice to apply the patch to the 2.4-SNAPSHOT trunk.


- Blocker Issues -
 MTAGLIST-30 Taglist should output xml files in order to be consumed by
othe...
  # Patch available
  - Our friends with the dashboard plugin are waiting for this feature to
be released.  I recommend choosing the modello patch because of the
rationale given in the jira issue and it has less checkstyle errors.



- Major Issues -
 MTAGLIST-34 Empty comments missing the --No Comment-- string when ending
in...
  # Patch available
  - The specs states that No Comment will be displayed, and the change was
minor.

 MTAGLIST-35 One line javadoc comments do not display correctly
  # No patch
  - This is a cosmetic issue; however, it is annoying for those of us that
have these one line todos. As of late, I have been slacking, but I will get
a patch submitted.  The fix looks simple.



- Minor Issues -
 MTAGLIST-33 Add surefire unit tests to the Taglist plugin
  # Patch available
  - This is minor, but it would be nice to have unit tests in place.  If
this issue is added to 2.3 MTAGLIST-34 and MTAGLIST-35 should also be
added. Otherwise, there will be 2 failures. :)

 MTAGLIST-38 Format report (table headings and spacing) similar to other
rep...
  # No patch
  - If there was a patch I would have ranked this major. I have not looked
at this issue.  I will try to create a patch; however, if the patch cannot
be created in time, I recommend going forward with 2.3 without this issue.



- Postpone Issues -
 MTAGLIST-14 ability to look for tags in additional source directories
(incl...
  # No Patch
  - Unanswered questions in jira.

 MTAGLIST-15 either support ignoring of casing for tags or implement

  # No patch
  - I have started working on this, but I have not fully completed the
change. Even if I was complete, I would not recommend issue for the 2.3
release. It is a large change, and there are a number of other issues more
important for the 2.3 release.

 MTAGLIST-22 Regular expression support for tags
  # No Patch
  - This issue is closely tied to MTAGLIST-15.  They should be fixed
together.

 MTAGLIST-32 Code links are all to xref-test
  # No patch
  - The root cause is listed in the jira issue; but there currently is no
solution.  There is a workaround listed.

 MTAGLIST-37 Report should be same as find * -name '*.* |xargs grep FIXME
  # Patch available
  - I don't fully understand the impact of this change.  What happens with
xref and test-xref output?  What about other exclusions besides CVS files? 
This is similar to MTAGLIST-14.
