I agree, if we call it 2.2 because it moves to jdk 1.5 and we fix the
other stuff, great. But lets keep the scope very small and limited so we
can get the regressions in 2.1.0 out quickly. I'm afraid that relabeling
it 2.2 would mean a pile on the bandwagon effect occurs and we'd be
stuck churning for a while.

1. leave MNG-4140 unfixed
I admire your efforts on the core and my intention was surely not to
hinder the progress you or anybody else makes, only to properly label it.
2. drag in something like jdom +jaxen +saxpath to do xpath
search/replacement for MNG-4140
3. attempt to approximate xpath for MNG-4140 using buffered-reader
and string matching or something...
Ugh ;-)
Otherwise, we're talking about releasing 2.2, which has much larger
ramifications in terms of the feature set the user will/should expect.
Personally, I see no problems with a minor update that provides only
one or two bigger changes, like say MNG-4098 and MNG-4112. MNG-3043
and MNG-1995 should also be ready features for 2.2 but too risky/heavy
for 2.1.1. Your introduction of generics could also be a nice feature
that plugin developers would like to see rather sooner than later I
guess.
Version names are mostly about the expections they drive in users,
right?. In the spirit of better safe than sorry, I merely imagine that
failing to meet these expections is less harmful for a minor update
that does not have a long release history than for a point release
that has this one issue that screws up your build.
So I'm +1 to just go ahead and release 2.2 straight after 2.1. IMHO we
have enough cool things hanging around to warrant that.
