[jira] Created: (MNG-3781) maven should not use beta plugins by
default
maven should not use beta plugins by default
--------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3781
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3781
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Environment: n/a
Reporter: Alvin Thompson
i just wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why i was getting duplicate files in my jar. since i originally thought it was a netbeans issue, i wasted a lot of their time as well. to make a long story short, it was a problem with the version of the maven assembly plugin that was being used to create the jar (2.2-beta-2).
the question is, why on earth does maven download and use beta plugins by default? most users simply want reliability, and don't want to be guinea pigs for the latest, greatest version.

Assignee: Brett Porter
Resolution: Won't Fix
we are slowly weeding this out from the distributed super POM and won't adopt any beta plugins in the future.
As for Maven more generally, it will have to wait for a quality indicator to be able to distinguish which to grab or not.
