Hi Will,

Wednesday is the plan. We just have a few things to finish off.

In summary for changes:
- alpha-2 plugins should work out of the box with alpha-3, both pre-built and rebuilding the same code - there are some deprecations: default values should be part of @parameter, not a field initialiser for documentation purposes, @executePhase has changed, but that's about it - plugins built with alpha-3 will only run on alpha-3 and up. We should be done in that regard, but can only guarantee backwards compat from beta-1 onwards.

Hope this helps. We'd love to see the work you've done on the Cobertura plugin.

Cheers,
Brett

I've been working for awhile on a maven 2 plugin for Cobertura, and have the 
basic functionality up and running.  So I thought I'd check with the list to 
see how alpha 3 is coming along, and how stable the plugin API's will be after 
the release.  I'm also whipping up an online article on how to write a Maven 2 
plugin based on what I've learned.  I'd like to use alpha 3 as the baseline 
version, but I want to make sure things don't change out from under me too much 
after the article goes out.

So how goes it?  Will alpha 3 be out soon, and will the plugin API's change radically 
after the release? ("I don't know" is an acceptable answer... :-)
