That does sound fine to me. I think I'm simply getting confused about who's proposing what. It sounds like gnodet@ and I are in agreement To break the cycle, we'd need to go another step and replace plexus-utils with new classes in the Maven tree. Whether anyone has the spoons to do that, I don't know. "Plexus" as a project seems to be a relic of big plans that never came to fruition. Had we a time machine, I suppose we could tell the developers back in the aughts not to bother splitting this out from Maven. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
