If possible then that is good for users. Otherwise we need to say in the plugin's status.xml or perhaps an upgrading doc what they need to change. I took the option of just specifying an old version of the plugin until i can help with the trunk dev version. The main part of my message was to say that we all need to be more careful to "release" a plugin and change version numbers if we radically change its behaviour. We have all forgotten this at times. There are some basic notes: http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/howto/howto-buildPlugin.html#release and we need to merge the notes from plugins/RELEASE_PROCESS.txt -David
