Heads up on forthcoming releases:

Shortly after the 2014/01/23 JDK8 final release candidate is made available
I will release:

Maven Dependency Plugin
Maven Shade Plugin
maven-depency-analyzer (maven shared)
All of them will be released with asm4.2, opposed to the current 3.X asm.
It should be possibly to drop in asm 5.x for
jdk 8 compatibility.

if anyone wants to chip in on some other issues, you have 2-3 weeks advance
notice. If anyone wants to participate constructively on assessing the
regulatory compliance of these upcoming release, now is  a nice time to run
release:prepare/ rat locally :)
