[m2]Any sign of Alpha 3?
I've been working for awhile on a maven 2 plugin for Cobertura, and have the basic functionality up and running. So I thought I'd check with the list to see how alpha 3 is coming along, and how stable the plugin API's will be after the release. I'm also whipping up an online article on how to write a Maven 2 plugin based on what I've learned. I'd like to use alpha 3 as the baseline version, but I want to make sure things don't change out from under me too much after the article goes out.
So how goes it? Will alpha 3 be out soon, and will the plugin API's change radically after the release? ("I don't know" is an acceptable answer... :-)

Hi Will,
Wednesday is the plan. We just have a few things to finish off.
In summary for changes:
- alpha-2 plugins should work out of the box with alpha-3, both
pre-built and rebuilding the same code
- there are some deprecations: default values should be part of
@parameter, not a field initialiser for documentation purposes,
@executePhase has changed, but that's about it
- plugins built with alpha-3 will only run on alpha-3 and up. We should
be done in that regard, but can only guarantee backwards compat from
beta-1 onwards.
Hope this helps. We'd love to see the work you've done on the Cobertura
plugin.
Cheers,
Brett

another thing that might cause problems with backward compat for plugins
is the '@execute phase="something" lifecycle="something"' notation,
which produces an expectation of a separate MavenProject instance from
the forked lifecycle...see the maven-eclipse-plugin for more info on this...
I'll have to speak with Brett regarding this. I know he really wants our
plugins to work with alpha-2, so maybe we can find a way to allow these
plugins to use the parameters which will be available in alpha-2 on a
case-by-case basis...

In alpha-3, you have too i18n reports API, I suppose you need it for
generate the cobertura result page.

We're nearing a 1.0-alpha-3 release, Real Soon Now.
IIRC, the plugin API hasn't changed dramatically, but one of my tasks is
to [attempt to] release all -alpha-3 plugins BEFORE we release -alpha-3
of the core, which means they should work with -alpha-2 of the core. In
otther words, What you're working on right now should be 99.9%
applicable to plugins in -alpha-3.
Brett, Emmanuel, feel free to chime in here if I've missed something...
