Suggestions for decoupling the core

[di...@multitask.com.au]

As part of the ongoing process of decoupling the core, I think we should 
split the jelly tags out from the maven cvs repository into a maven-tags 
repository.

One of the issues with maven releases has been that new tags are 
introduced, and the tags are part of the core maven jar. This would help 
alleviate the issue, and allow us to correctly specify the dependencies 
between the tags and maven core.

Comments?

rc1 and rc2 are attempts at this. Don't use HEAD, as it's 1.1.

Have you reported bugs against RC1 for the bugs?

And I thought thats what was happening. I don't think I mentioned what 
release that feature was for, but I certainly wasn't saying RC2.......

Hi,
I am using Maven only because Avalon decided at some point to adapt it, and I 
suggest a much more wanted thing from Maven being done first;


 * *  Stablize it  * *


At the moment, we are using about 3 versions (beta-10, 1.0-rc1 and head), and 
none of the them work flawlessly.
What is making things even more complex, is the fact that we end up with 
out-of-sync plug-ins, so switching between Maven versions are more than just 
changing the symlink.


I (and probably chores of others) would become very happy if Maven folks took 
a break from Featuritis, and concentrated on fixing up problems and fulfilled 
its promise and made a rock-solid first 1.0 Release and possibly following up 
with 1.0.1 and so forth. Something that all we others can depend on.

Thanks from the Avalon Team

Niclas
