You probably have 6-7 weeks before an official 3.0.4 release would be made so you have plenty of time. If you are going to wait for Aether and Sisu to be provisioned at Eclipse then the total time for both of those to pass into that state is about 7 weeks. The build I proposed could not be an official release until such a time because there are fixes which rely on Sisu and Aether which are important for users. > LieGrue, > strub > > > --- On Thu, 7/28/11, Jason van Zyl <ja...@sonatype.com> wrote: > >> From: Jason van Zyl <ja...@sonatype.com> >> Subject: Re: Apache Maven distribution with fixes >> To: "Maven Developers List" <dev@maven.apache.org> >> Date: Thursday, July 28, 2011, 11:41 AM >> I'll assume that this is fine and no >> one objects.

Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general your framework will be. -- Ralph Johnson & Don Roberts, Patterns for Evolving Frameworks
