whoo now, i don't want to get involved, but i do want to let it be known that since this is an open source project, nothing is stopping you from adding the feature you're asking for. * download the source from cvs * make the change you're requesting * submit the change as a patch to JIRA. * hope that a commiter will take the patch and apply it to the codebase! =)

The classloader loads the jar and the respective versioning information not the webapp container that loads the war! Remember that in this day and age all list mail gets archived so what you just said above will be preserved forever. Michal, you are leading me to believe that you are the originator for this plugin. If that is the case I am hearing some very negative feedback from a member of this project which boils down to "I'm to lazy and can't be bothered". Not only to lazy to do the work, which would be at your discretion, but to lazy to even bother looking into what I'm asking for and giving reasonable and coherent reasons for not doing it. I don't think you *must* add this feature because *I* ask for it, but you owe all of us the courtesy of looking into the request (which you very clearly have not done). This is exactly the kind of negative attitude that is turning people off of Maven and I find it very disappointing. - Brill Pappin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
