Jason,

The issues I'm finding (or my userbase actually) are not with mevenide
integration. It's also not something I could test on my side. It's in
99% of cases incompatibilities with 2.0.x. And it's not  a reoccuring
pattern, no  trunk-to-trunk regressions. So no test could save me from
it anyway. And *if* I wrote tests, it would be in maven not mevenide.
That's where it belongs IMHO.
So please don't make it sound like it's my own fault anyway.

well, any of the 6 or so snapshots I've used in the past 6-8 months
had some (different) rough edges. So from my perspective it can be
current trunk, no need to go backwards.

It's all cool and I want it in the released bits just as you do but it
IMHO pushes the release into more distant future. That's what I was
pointing to my previous emails.
