Hi Karl,
the reason is that the plugin is based on the old SVN trunk, but
completely reanalysed and rewritten. But I also needed some versioning
support, and for that is SVN really unusable.
1) Alpha had one big problem - dependency on native2ascii program from
SUN JDK.
2) Beta had another big problem - it did changes inplace so it needed
much more configuration to work. Then it caused problems in Eclipse
which did not know what to do with those files and when. I have
forgotten details, but I remember it was completely unusable so we used
Alpha with Sun JDK6. But we wanted to use another JDKs ... (now OpenJdk8)
3) My version covers both 1) and 2) functionality and more, it provides
autotomplete and phase mapping for Eclipse just like other plugins. It
does not depend on the JDK version.
Making patches makes no sense here, I did not fix issues one by one, but
tried to transform the plugin into simple working thing. Those JIRA
issues were commented finally to note what works in this version.
Those issues were not simply bugs in the project, but it's features
(maybe not all). Alpha did some things and Beta did other things ...
I don't know if you will make me a committer or will create patch(es?)
from my GitHub or nothing, but I made some work and I think it would be
useful for other developers.

Hi,
nearly year before I have completely rewritten the native2ascii plugin,
because both older versions (alpha and beta) were incompatible and had
serious issues - each was usable only in some scenario.
My version covers functionality of both it's predecessors, and I think
is very easily usable.
I would like to become committer and release the version officially to
public repos, but I need someone's guidance and help.
First to publish things to maven central it is not necessary to become
a committer[1].
Furthermore I'm curious why you didn't sent patches to the dev list so
it could be taken by a committer and may be applied...nor did i see
patches which are attached to different JIRA issues...only some issues
have been updated with links to your github project....
