Howdy, Just wanted to share a few ideas about some things I would like to do over the next couple of weeks.
I think it is apparent that we are in a bit of deadlock wrt to a release so I would like to do the following to try and get a stable release out in the next little while. 1. Get maven-model working with 100% coverage (done). 2. Get maven-model-tools working with 100% coverage. 3. Get maven-project working with 100% coverage while. excluding artifact handling code to give Michal some time to clean up Wagon. 4. Integrate Wagon into maven-project and get the resulting code working with 100% coverage. After these steps these three components can be wrapped with a plexus embedder to create a small tool that will take care of the entire Maven project building concern and that's what I would like to integrate into Maven for the 1.0 release because we're just floundering at this point. In order to use this it means that all notions of Jelly/Ant must be pushed into PluginManager. I have code in the RC2_REFACTOR which strips the Ant/Jelly code out of Cli/App classes which I believe will be enough when combined with the new project builder. So at this point I am going to work on the components and then if no one has beaten me to it I will strip Jelly/Ant out of the necessary places in order to use the new project builder. With the use of the new project builder recursive inheritance will work on all levels with respect to the model and properties and we can then focus on the Jelly related stuff. I believe it will take less time with this approach as the components I want to use are cleanly separated and it will be much easier to create comprehensive tests with Jelly/Ant out of the way. Ultimately this is the only solution that will work for the long-term and I think it's obvious our attempts on the various branches isn't working so I would like to focus on the long-term solution as I think it will actually be faster and easier to do. -- jvz.
