This plugin can build a subset of interdependent projects in a reactor. It
should be useful in large reactor builds that include irrelevant stuff
you're not working on.

A few important notes:
* This is maven-reactor-plugin's first official release. I know it's
traditional for us to call the first few releases 1.0-alpha-X for a while,
but it can often be difficult to decide when to drop the "-alpha"
qualifier, and I don't think very many people actually like that old
tradition. :-)
* One weird thing about the maven-reactor-plugin is that three of its
goals (reactor:make, reactor:make-dependents, reactor:resume) are now
features in the maven-2.1.x branch; they will presumably get released as
part of 2.1.0-M2.
I still think this plugin is worth releasing, for three reasons:
1) reactor:make-scm-changes will probably never become part of the Maven
core, and probably should never, so at least one goal has long term value.
2) While I'd expected most people to use this goal from the command-line,
it will also work wired up as part of a POM, e.g. as the default goal for
particular profiles. The new core features are command-line only.
3) A lot of people are on 2.0 and may be on 2.0 for a while yet (even if
we release 2.1 very quickly).
There are still a couple of issues left in JIRA:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=11831&status=1
The biggest remaining issue is MREACTOR-1. It's pretty bad, but I don't
think it should hold up a 1.0 release.
