Hi Rahul, Thanks for yout interest for this plexus-to-spring migration helper. The code is still early experimental and requires some more testing : it only has been tested on 2 archiva testcases and requires many fixes and testcases to get stable.
Please give me one week to test it more, add debugging logs and better error handling / reporting : The current code is not really easy to debug when some unexpected IoC occur... I also may improve support for plexus lifecycle and specificities, as long as I discover requirements from archiva codebase. It is allready isolated from archiva for reuse, and can move to plexus when ready (I've no access to plexus svn). I promise to inform you about progress ;-) Nicolas. 2008/2/25, Rahul Thakur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi Nicolas, > > Sorry, I have looked at the recent updates to the code, hence my > question.
