Hi Jason, Thanks! I certainly can't take all the credit - a lot of folk have been hammering away and cleaning up the plugins , especially those that took on all the releases in the last few weeks when I didn't have the time.
Reading the posts on slashdot was a helpful reminder: we should take care in describing Maven so it is not perceived as a project management tool in terms of Microsoft Project, but as a Project Software Management Tool. Its not about the build, but it is about the code. I'm pretty happy with the result: all the behaviour is now well-defined, even if it is not optimal. That's a stable base for users to stick with and upgrade their plugins for as long as Maven 1.0 lives, which is great. My only disappointment is that I didn't get the time to fix the documentation like I would have liked to. I think there are some fundamental issues that need to be sorted out, and I'd much prefer to be maintaining living documentation on something like Confluence, while leaving the release specific stuff to what is kept in CVS and published.
