Hi,
I'll start with common-attributes-maven-plugin. Could be marked as "in progress". That's two down (beside JavaCC Maven Plugin), a lot more to go ;) regards - Robert > Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 23:56:04 +0200 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: [mojo-dev] Request for help with plugin ITs > > Hi, > > there's still some work left to do but after a rather long journey we're > finally approaching a point where Maven 3.x stabilizes and can be used > as a drop-in replacement for Maven 2.x.
