Is Maven Wagon future-proof?

Hello,

I'm busy removing the maven-compat dependencies from versions-maven-plugin
and WagonManager seems to be the last of them. I'm wondering now how
future-proof it would be to use Wagon without WagonManager, i.e. simply
using the current API as described on https://maven.apache.org/wagon/

Simply put, I don't know the roadmap. If Wagon is going to be deprecated, I
can use HttpClient from HttpComponents for Http transport instead.

Best regards
Andrzej

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the answer. I've actually started working on an implementation using HttpClient5 and it's going smooth so far. But I'll use Wagon now :)

Thanks again and best regards,

Andrzej

Hi Andrzej,

Wagon is definitively *not* deprecated. I am planning to skim a lot in
version 4 and move to HttpClient 5. Doing everything manually with
HttpClient is just unnecessary pain. Though, I won't pick up before
spring next year, if not even summer.
