In researching why project.properties was coming up empty for my plugin,
I found that the problem was in Plexus code
(plexus-container-default-1.0-alpha-9.jar to be exact). Looking up that
project, it seems the latest release is 1.0-alpha-17, but if I try to
have Maven use that instead, Maven dies very quickly with a
NoClassDefFoundError:
org/codehaus/plexus/component/repository/exception/ComponentLifecycleExc
eption.
I did find the source code to 1.0-alpha-9 and verified that a simple fix
to the PropertiesConverter class takes care of the problem.
How should I file bugs so this can get fixed in Plexus and also so the
Maven 2 project will get updated to the latest version of Plexus (or a
patch of alpha-9 with the fix)?
