Changes of Maven Plugins to have 2.2.1 as minimum requirement

[Dan Tran <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi I am seeing a number changes to core maven plugins to have Maven 2.2.1
as minimum requirement.

Are we going to release them soon?

Just curious

Thank you for doing all that works

To be accurate it is the minimum which is needed to build them...

I have to admit that i didn't test the runtime against 2.0.11 of the 
plugins which i've changed...on the other hand i really don't care cause 
2.0.X is in my opinion out of scope...only Maven 2.2.1 is the one which 
i do tests again...currently i'm setting up a build server to make that 
more convenient for me...(more Java versions/Maven Versions)...

That depends on how you define soon...

I'm just going through the list and checking which plugin has not been 
released after 2012...

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/

By using that you will get a list of plugins like:

maven-rar-plugin, m-ejb-p, maven-acr-plugin etc. which should be updated...

Currently i'm also working on a larger release of maven-enforcer..the 
list of changes is a little bit longer...(new rules 
restrictDistributionManagement, reactorConvergence and some enhancements 
of rules)...

I'm working on that...and will release plugin after plugin...which i 
already did within the last months...

This is in particular to get the community aware of there is something 
happen and updates are comming and not thinking ..."Development Dead" or 
something similar...


Kind regards
