Hello, First be sure I've lot's of respect for maven developpers and the work they offer to the community.
I'm just curious about WHY there is so fiew releases of maven plugins, even when there is JIRA issues with patches avilable or SNAPSHOTS solving them. The hudson project uses to publish releases very often, including fiew fixes. This is really usefull for users as they can get a fixed release quickly. Is there any reason maven plugins donesn't do the same ? The release plugin itself ensure the POM makes no reference to SNAPSHOT, so using them to fix an issue can only be temporary . Nico.
