Hi, As some would know, there are a number of plugins in the main Maven distribution that have gone dormant, and are now either unmaintained, out of date, or too poorly documented to be useful.
The Maven developers & community have voted to remove the following from the next release. - They will still be available using plugin:download to get the version available in Maven 1.0.2 - the source code will be in the sandbox. - Their JIRA projects will not be accepting new bugs. - If anyone is willing to step up and maintain these, they can offer to look after it, and take it to the sourceforge project. Someone has already discussed this for latex. What I wanted to ask of the user community was whether anyone was specifically using one of these in a way we aren't aware of? ashkelon - unmaintained, no idea if it works wizard - doesn't work vdoclet - only used by tasklist, will fold it into that tjdo - no maintainer shell - no maintainer appserver - out of date, no maintainer webserver - out of date, no maintainer aspectwerkz - no maintainer, out of date caller - never used struts - out of date, not being maintained docbook - superseded by the SF one, I believe javacc - experimental at best, no maintainer jdee - no idea how to test it, no maintainer jdeveloper - no maintainer junitdoclet - no maintainer latex - not being maintained latka - not being maintained Not to be removed now, but to get merged and removed by the final 1.1 release: - repository - not being maintained (move upload-bundle to artifact plugin) - release - moved used functionality to SCM plugin - j2ee - depended on by struts and ear, move the tag into ear Cheers, Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
