Yah, I think that will be the consensus. I don't really want to find
out we've jacked up someone's environment by forcing 1.5. Brian did a
really awesome job that last release killing many regressions and I'd
like to keep it that way.

I don't think we have plan yet to release maven 2.1, so I think it
would be
a valid to require java 1.5 as minimal runtime.
Main beneficts (IMHO) :
- annotation can replace javadoc-style IoC an Maven plugin
declarations
(code allready available :
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Java+5+Annotations+for
+Plugins)
- jsr-250 annotations can replace some plexus interfaces
( LogEnabled ->
@Resource('log') , Initializable --> @PostConstruct ...) and make
component
more "standard" and accessible to developpers without plexus
knowledge.
- generics can make the maven model more comprehensible. The current
"Collection project.getArtifacts()" is not really clear and the fiew
available javadoc don't help a lot.
Other possible improvements :
- plugin test tool could use jUnit 4 runners to create something
comparable
to spring-test-context :
annotate your plugin test class with
@Runwith( "MavenPluginTestRunner" )
@Pom( "myTestPom.xml" )
and the test will prepare the plugin set in the test pom and inject
it in
the test class.
- benefict from java.util.concurrent to do some tasks in parallel ?
Example
: dependencies downloading
- any other ?
WDYT ?
Nicolas.
