> But note that existing users will not receive updates, and cannot automatically "upgrade" to the new plugin
Making a tombstone release makes more difficult to get both plugins installed. 1. Release the new plugin 2. Remove all the code from the old plugin 3. Leave a minimal pom.xml, with a single dependency to the new plugin 4. Release the old plugin So users will get an update for old-plugin which is basically removing it and automatically installing the new one. Still, users could install the new plugin directly and get in troubles. I guess this can be solved by documentation and release notes in both plugins.
