Hi
(Just trying to pick up where we are on this...)
In RAT-78 there is a request to upgrade to a newer version of Doxia. That is a reasonable request given the fact that the current version we are using is 1.0-alpha-8 which is *really* old.

Now, in order to decide which version of Doxia to use we need to first define the minimum version of Maven we want to support. Currently our plugin requires Maven 2.0.6 which came out in 2007. Over in Maven land we currently target Maven 2.2.1 as the minimum version for our plugins. The reason for this question is because different versions of Maven comes with different versions of Doxia. This is an unfortunate hard connection between the two, but starting with Maven 3 there are no longer any direct dependencies on Doxia in Maven core. See this wiki page for some history in the matter: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Doxia+Release+Plan We really only have two choices: 1. Require Maven 2.0.11 and use Doxia 1.0.x 2. Require Maven 2.1.0+, which in reality means Maven 2.2.1 due to technical reasons I won't go into here, and use Doxia 1.1+ Unless anyone has strong objections I plan on going with option 2 here.
