+1 for dropping java 1.4 support.

> Since these projects are technically not ASF ...

Actually I'd go further one step: plexus has been developed to 90% by ASF 
committers. So I'd rather go and move plexus over to maven completely while 
upgrading to java 1.5 and rewrite/drop parts with uncertain provenience.

The plexus SVN which vanished from day to the other from codehaus.org left a 
deep cut and uncertainty. I'm pretty sure that we can get all the history from 
Ben and we should keep this history somewhere as backup.
