Hi, Yesterday I spend 2 hours fixing a nasty bug with EAR plugin and dependency with type "xml.zip". This dependency was declared in another module of the reactor, and was a dependency of a plugin (maven-andromda-plugin). So there is no reason that the ear plugin "see" this dependency. As I read Maven 3 is much more precise dealing with plugin classpath and dependencies, I asked the project leader to try with Maven 3 alpha 6. Hourra! It worked fine.
So I told the project to migrate to Maven 3 but the project leader was reluctant as it is flagged as "alpha". As it seems many Maven guys say Maven 3 alpha 6 is much better than Maven 2.2.1, could you please for next release use a version with a "higher" qualifier that will not afraid corporate people. IMHO "beta" will face the same issue, so I suggest "rc" or something like that.
