Dear Maven Users, Over the years, the JIRA for core Maven (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG) has accumulated many unresolved issues. All this clutter makes it difficult to tell where the real problems are. Further, many of these issues do not contain self-contained test cases. Practically speaking, it is very difficult to diagnose and resolve a problem without a test case 'on the bench.' We developers would like to turn over a bit of a new leaf. We're going to ask you to supply a test case to go with your bug reports. In return, we're going to try very hard to attend to them. You can zip it up and attach it to the jira. In case of vast size or complexity, consider simplification, or, failing that, github.
To clean up the current mess, we plan to start going through the backlog. We'll add comments asking for test cases or other followup. If we don't hear back in two weeks, we're going to close. We're sorry for any frustration felt by the originators of long-neglected reports, but we believe that this process will help us be more responsive in the future. --the devs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
