"This is a MUCH bigger problem than we seem to recognize. Who wants to send the email to the users@ list to tell them that, oh, yeah, they need to specify versions for all of their plugins in the POM? I'm not wild about it, but I think that's the only way out...and I'm willing to send that email."
We recently discussed this on this list (maybe even related to Assembly...no it was Brett's proposal for a separate Alpha repo). If we are to encourage best practices, then we really should encourage the plugin versions to be set in the poms or pluginManagement. I would even assert that it should be required in 2.1 as it is for dependenceis now. No build team who is concerned about reproducibility would really allow the versions to be uncontrolled and entirely up to the developers environment. (If they are, maybe they don't realize this is occuring). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
