Hi Barrie, Nice to hear back from you guys!
Indeed, I do have a JIRA account, but last time I tried, I wasn't able to assign myself issues. Could somebody please look into this? We've been working on version 6.0 of the maven-indexer in which we're dropping Plexus, polishing the examples and re-working certain bits of the API. I believe Tamas is still on vacation, but surely he can explain some more.
