-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there,
thanks to all your answers to my mail. I got some interesting links and understood that the maven core is about 9?% done. I will check if I am on the latest version or better build m2 directly from svn. Maybe that is the reason why POM inheritance did not work for me. I'll check this and if it still does not work I'll send you the toplevel and a sub POM. I'll pick up the suggestion to better contribute on some pluggin stuff. I've seen on the plugin matrix that there will be no "MultiProject Plugin". Is that because you now have "Multi-Project" by design and not like some sort of late add-on so all plugins can support this directly? BTW - I like plexus. Haven't noticed the project before. I had used avalon and had a look at pico+nano before. Plexus seems to be powerfull like avalon containers but less invasive (like the spring-framework). Maybe I'll use that in my project. Would you again decide for plexus if you'd choose now?
