And some of them have been open since 1.0 and postponed from version to version ... so that's not the real issue ;-) >> I'm really hoping that 2.0.5 will fix the problems with site >> deployment, particularly http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-138 >> and http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-25 (a real problem for >> windows users). > > You will probably have to find work-arounds. > Such as > - backport the plugin patches > - or use maven 2.0.5-snapshot > - or fix maven 2.0.5 issues to help fasten the release :) Well, some bugs already have been fixed and it will need a new Maven release to roll them out (MNG-1245 and all those dependend on it). Especially in large organizations it is not really an option to tell every developer to install a snapshot library into their Maven installation nor will such a thing pass any QA process. Fact is, that creating non-final EJBs, WARs, EARs, etc. in multi-module builds will produce unusable artifacts. So a "release often release fast" strategy would definitely be welcome. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
