Hi All, I started working on this today and I have run into a few things that I would like you to be aware of just in case you have a better way of handling the situation.
As I was going through and creating the modello for ReleaseDescriptor, used to replace the ReleaseConfiguration, I ran into an issue where some of the things that are currently stored in the ReleaseConfiguration, but not necessarily persisted to the release properties file, that cannot be stored in a modello file. I have done some researching and I do think that these items do not necessarily need to be in the ReleaseDescriptor. The problem is that the release plugin still needs to get access to these things, like the Settings object, to perform the release. That being said, my plan is to refactor and pass these objects to the proper methods where they are needed and not worry about storing them in the ReleaseDescriptor. Does anyone see any problem with this or have any suggestions in the matter? Take care, Jeremy P.S. - To see what I am speaking of, open the " org.apache.maven.plugins.release.config.ReleaseConfiguration" file and look at all local member variables that are not capable of being stored in a class created by modello. (For example: The Settings, List and Map objects) If you have time, look at how they are used and get back to me.
