--------------------------------
Hello:
Could someone provide a pointer to the process where a can patch and get a
release of maven install plugin and manve-project.
I've a simple patch to the problem mentioned in this issue (MNG-624) and
MNG-3057.
Also, what is the timeline for the fix proposed here (by Ralph Goers) is
getting into the next release of maven.
Greatly appreciate your comments and direction in this regard.
Thanks..
