Maven 2.0.5 needs Maven 2.0.5 Tasks for Ant and Maven 2.0.5 Embedder for
everything to remain sane
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2859
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2859
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Ant tasks, Embedding
Affects Versions: 2.0.5
Reporter: Greg Luck
I am moving my project from Maven plus Antlib to pure Maven, maybe.
Right now I have a super pom with a dependencyManagement element. When I copied
it and pasted that tag to the child pom used by Antlib it did not work. Now,
because I am using Maven 2.0.5 and Antlib 2.0.4 I don't know whether the model
format has changed or whether dependencyManagement never worked for Antlib.
Similarly we are using TeamCity 2.0EAP. Because of problems in 2.04 they
upgraded to the prerelease 2.1, skipping 2.05 which of course does not exist.
Now we have a problem that occurs in 2.1 which does not happen in 2.0.5. This
has forced us back to TeamCity 1.2.
But the issue is that the Maven family should remain compatible. The only way
to do that is to release all together. Instead we are using three versions of
Maven, each with their idiosyncratic bugs and features.
I think it is an error to release a new version of core Maven without the
others, which is why this is a bug and not a feature request.
The following email exchange mentions Jason will create a JIRA. I went looking
for it but could not find it, so created this one.

Hi,
I couldn't find any info regarding the status of the ant maven tasks
wrt to the 2.0.5 release. Are the ant tasks still at 2.0.4?
As already pointed out they will be released separately from Maven itself. They
need some love, the Ant code itself has not changed at all so we simply could
do a release with the new 2.0.5 code. If there is a lot of demand I'll look
into it. I'll JIRA for it later this week and people can vote. We're making
lots of headway doing plugin releases and I would still like to get 2.0.6 and
2.1-alpha-1 out relatively shortly so I probably won't have a ton of time to
prepare a release. Someone else might though.
Jason.
Cheers, Paul.
