Hi Sean,

There is currently no way to rebuild a set of plugins that was bundled with a Maven release unfortunately. Other than that what you've done is correct. You can acheckout a specific release of plugin by the tag for that plugin's release.

Alternatively, you can use the maven:installer goal on the maven tree to build a maven release using the latest plugin *releases* from your CVS checkout (it will download the releases rather than build them).

Hi,

How do you build a *particular release* (in this case RC3) of Maven from source?

Normally, I would download a source tarball for the given release and build from that, 
but the Maven project doesn't provide one.

I can successfully build from source (using the bootstrap instructions) by using CVS to fetch the code using the 
MAVEN_1_0_RC3 tag for "maven",  but what tag do I use for "maven-plugins"??  (Using HEAD, Maven 
builds and installs 1.4-SNAPSHOT of jnlp which seems to have a problem.)  How do I check-out the revisions of the 
files in the "maven-plugins" module that match the ones used to build RC3?

Alternatively, are there any plans to make source tarballs available for releases?

I'm trying build a Mac OS X installer package for Maven using the DarwinPorts 
(http://darwinports.opendarwin.org) system.  I can build the package successfully from 
the binary download, but the DarwinPorts philosophy is to build things from source 
where possible.

Regards,

Sean
