We should keep in mind that this plugin could fool people into doing "bad stuff" (not The Maven Way). To continue Stephen's comment on the build-helper/meta-data mojo discussion, I'm not sure this is good. Also, having a plugin setting properties will not always work with Maven 3 as that happens too late in the build process. This could be a good thing though as some "bad stuff" can't be done then (reading a property from a local file to set a property defining a version of a dependency for example)...
I don't think this is a good plugin and there is a reason it hasn't been developed for some time. Maybe we should retire it instead? /Anders On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 9:21 AM, Baptiste Mathus <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Please don't hesitate to attach patches for the bugs you're concerned with. > I'll review them.
