The need to update the build plugin has been discussed on the dev list, and the fixes applied. However the updated plugin has yet to be released. So a work-round is needed. > Bug is in the "Commons" procedure where a required tool stopped The build plugin is entirely optional.

If the step-by-step recipe no longer works, then that is a separate issue from the release or build plugins, and should be fixed independently if required. > The ML archive contains a discussion about what could perhaps > work better in a multimodule project.
