Adam, I suggest (1) to minimize the issues for now. (2) just won't work - you need forehead for Maven to run. Under (1), you'll get Maven running with whatever is in $MAVEN_HOME/lib, you'll get the plugins runing with the versions they were released against, but you can specify the versions of all of the projects you build with maven by using the jar overrides discussed previously. From there, you might be able to make attempts to swap in a different boot classpath, rebuild the plugins with the jar overrides - but I suggest taking it in steps to get it up and running quicker.
The newer versions of Maven are designed to be more embeddable and you should be able to run it with more recent JARs, and you can rebuild the plugins each night with more recent JARs so they all talk with the same thing. This is probably 2-3 months off, and not backwards compatible, so I think for now (1) is definitely the best shot. While its not a perfect fit to gumps world, you'll be able to build projects that otherwise couldn't be - so its not a backwards step. Cheers, Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam R. B.
