b7 slow, doesn't get plugin dependencies?

[Brian Ewins]

Hi,
I was wondering if its just me that finds b7 a tad slow (not in comparison to other betas, I mean - maven is slow.)

An typical edited maven.log with comments...

This build took 17s, entirely in maven setting itself up - I'd already built the project so that no work needed done. This is slightly worse than usual - I typically get 11s of setup. I like maven, and I'd like to move our projects across to it, but this amount of delay on incremental builds would quickly get on my nerves. Anyone else seeing this, and is there something we can do to fix it?

The second issue is much more annoying - I used b5 before, and IIRC whenever I used a plugin maven downloaded any jars it needed. Not so with b7 - I found the only way to get it to work was to add the dependencies from plugin project.xml's to my own project.xml, run maven, and after that I could remove the extraneous dependencies. Wierd. Again - shurely this isn't what everyone else is seeing?

Cheers,
Baz
