That or just change the version and keep it in a repository not exposed to everyone else. We can easily make a repository for them in Nexus.

This isn't a problem. I'm not sure when anyone here will get around to releasing Surefire so making an internal release is perfectly fine. Their
world can't stop just because ours is moving a little slower.

Perhaps you can file a JIRA to release 2.5, i am sure lots of folks
will vote for it, that will get attention.

Well, we can if we want to - we have a repository which can be used for
such
artifacts. So you advice to make a *local* copy of 2.5-SNAPSHOT and use
it
until official 2.5 is released?

since Apache Cayenne cant just fork its own copy of surefire plugin, i
think releasing 2.5 is badly needed.

Hello,

While enchancing our Hudson builds here at Apache Cayenne, we got
bitten

by

SUREFIRE-551. It is now fixed, but doesn't exist in any released

version.

We've found the snapshot in http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/ .
So

our

questions are:
1. Is 2.5-SNAPSHOT stable enough?
2. Can we rely on http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/ repository
in

our

builds (i.e. aren't there any plans to delete snapshot from that
repo)?
3. When official 2.5 will be released?

Thanks,
Andrey


For 1) & 2) NEVER rely on snapshots for your builds.

There are a number of problems with using the snapshot repository. 1) You can't select which snapshots to use, it is all or nothing. So if you aren't following best practice and locking down plugin versions then you will automatically start using snapshot versions when you
didnt want to.
2) Snapshots get rebuilt so it may work one day and fail the next.

I wrote up the steps I use for this scenario
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Patching+Maven+Plugins

Essentially you take a copy of the source and build a local version of
the plugin.
If you use a suitable numbering scheme when the official release
arrives it will replace your patched version.

I can't answer 3) for you.
