[PLEASE TEST] Maven 2.2.0-RC3

[John Casey <jd...@commonjava.org>]

Hi,

I've finally gotten through the assembly plugin release and the mess 
that is POM transformation, and I think we're ready to test another 
Maven 2.2.0 release candidate.

You can grab this RC here:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-staging-011/

The big change here is that POM tranformations have been completely 
backed out of Maven, pending further design discussion to address the 
relevant use cases more thoroughly. Along with this, I've added two new 
pseudo-features for MNG-3203 and MNG-3401. These are documented in:

<site-trunk>/src/site/apt/guides/mini/guide-default-execution-ids.apt

Additionally, I've documented the use of Animal Sniffer to ensure 
1.4-compatible builds under:

<site-trunk>/src/site/apt/guides/mini/guide-building-jdk14-on-jdk15.apt

...this is a stop-gap solution until the compiler plugin supports 
toolchains.

I haven't published the site with these new documents yet, just in case 
there are some horrible and unforseen problems with what I've done. :-)

Please give this release candidate a try, and let me know if you run 
into any problems.

I'll probably let this sit for a couple of days, and if there aren't any 
problems I'll call a vote. Before this is a possibility, though, I'm 
going to need to incorporate the new policies on source-release 
distributions, so I'm just letting you know now that this isn't done yet.

Thanks, and happy building!
