Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-7727:
--------------------------------------
We can't remove the whole package, but we can remove the interface along with
the component. I think it's better because it will throw a
ClassNotFoundException instead of a cryptic sisu/plexus provisioning error,
which would be harder to diagnose.
> Remove the implementation of DefaultMavenProfilesBuilder#buildProfiles

> Key: MNG-7727
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7727
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Guillaume Nodet
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0.0-alpha-5
>
>
> Going through the usage of the plexus-utils {{ReaderFactory}} in maven, the
> {{DefaultMavenProfilesBuilder#buildProfiles}} method suffers from possible
> encoding/BOM problems. Removing this code would get rid of a few
> dependencies on plexus-utils.
> This class is deprecated since 2009. I don't think there are any code
> actually using this method, and such usage would have to deal with a null
> return value anyway, so it should be perfectly safe to just always return
> null.
> See https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1044
