[jira] [Commented] (MWRAPPER-8) Status note on web page

["Dominic Anello (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWRAPPER-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17274542#comment-17274542 ] 

Dominic Anello commented on MWRAPPER-8:
---------------------------------------

For what it's worth, I did read that line, but I did not take "introduced in Apache Maven 3.7.0" to mean "incompatible with maven 3.6" or "not released for public consumption".  I interpreted that to mean that while earlier versions might not be aware of the plugin out of the box, I could still add it using the standard plugin mechanism, especially given that the page at [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-wrapper-plugin/plugin-info.html] indicates the minimum maven version is {{3.1.0}}

When that failed, I spent a bit of time futzing with the source distribution to see if I could build the {{apache-maven-wrapper:zip:script:3.6.2}} artifact and install it locally before I found this Jira ticket.  An explicit message saying not to bother with this plugin until Maven 3.7.0 is released would be helpful since for all intents and purposes it looks like a fully released and usable plugin.

> 3.0.1 was just released for development purposes, but not for public use. In fact, this plugin does not work for the broad public, as it doesn't find its needed downloads from Maven Central. Unfortunately there is no note on the public web page of this plugin telling people so, hence more and more people run into the problem that they try out the plugin and fail.
>  
> *I offer to put a clear warning there, that nobody needs to try out this plugin, as it will definitively fail unless Maven 3.7.0 is published.*
>  
> On the other hand this only makes sense, if Maven 3.7.0 is several weeks away.
>  
> *So please tell me if it is worth sending a PR, or if you think 3.7.0 will be here in the next few weeks.*
