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
This is mostly because some of us have itches to scratch, are prepared to fix them and have a release early release often bent.

The issue we have in Hudson at present is letting users keep/catch up!

I'm sure once we get an internal update mechanism, this will be easier.
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.

Hi Nicolas

I don't know how they work over at the Hudson project, but I try my best to get releases out for the plugins who's code base I feel comfortable with.
I guess you mean that you are prepared to push releases for plugins you are familiar with.
Maybe we just need more people prepared to push releases
As of late, a lot of time has gone into Doxia, which is a key ingredient in the reporting plugins. It is now nearing completion and you can expect to see many report plugins released over the coming months. First up is the site plugin.

The sheer volume of open issues [1] makes it somewhat hard to know where to start. We have created some swizzle scripts that helps us wade through all the issues and find out which issues are important to the community.

If you have ideas on how we can do this better, we're all ears.
