There is no shortage of numbers in the world. What is the problem
with releasing often? So what if a bug occasionally gets its way into
a release -- you can always specify an older version of a plugin that
didn't have some new bug.
True, a lot of plugins are under 3rd party control and not part of
the core maven. But if the core maven team starts releasing more
often and understands why releases are important, many of the 3rd
parties will follow suit.
Right now maven seems more like a toy and is constantly frustrating
when trying to use it on a real project (due largely to known bugs
many of which have been fixed in SNAPSHOTs for over 6-months now and/
or several plugins that have produced SNAPSHOT builds but no released
version).
I would like to second the motion... Over here, I'm constantly teetering
on the edge of dropping maven altogether. I really really want to like
it, but it is a hard sell to developers, especially if they have to end
up writing ant tasks after all...
