Oki, as far as this goes: There are multiple reasons for having this situation:
1.) some companies need features of plugins which although are checked in to the Apache SVN already are not released yet. If you like/need to use these new features you will have to run a 'local release' in your company. Otherwise the release-plugin will complain about the SNAPSHOT version of this plugin. I have a few plugins patched and those patches have been sent to the codehaus list too. The full versions usually are located on http://ns1.backwork.net/git The interesting ones are 1.) kodo-maven-plugin.git - This contains a few enhancements on Brians original kodo plugin. I don't know how many folks do use kodo still, but there are now additional tags for creating sql and schema-mapping. 2.) openjpa-maven-plugin.git - Rahul already pulled a lot of changes, but there are still a few (most of them a result of Benjamin's review) which are not checked in to SVN yet since Rahul has not much time currently. 3.) webtest-maven-plugin.git - This Canoo plugin is written by Sigi Goeschl (a real maven dinosaur, I bet Jörg knows him still from maven-plugins.sourceforge.net) and he also posted to this list. But I remember that he got no response yet ... Latest plugin can be downloaded at http://people.apache.org/~sgoeschl/download/maven-plugins/webtest-maven-plugin/ I honestly think this would be a very valuable contribution since many people on the canoo list seems to use it happily. You can ignore maven-scm-providers-git.git and maven-scm-plugin.git, since Jason pulled this already and the whole stuff is now officially part of maven-scm-1.1 since september last year. So I would be happy if anyone can do anything with our code, and if we could move this over to codehaus. There should also be no legal problem, since both Sigi and me have IACL on record and are Apache committers. LieGrue, strub --- David J, M.
