Just some more considerations on this though. I would need to check the impact on build performance - I imagine it's pretty quick, but it's possibly an obnoxious thing to add for every build whether they care about incubated apache projects or not. > >> Obviously, this won't solve the problem of people using older versions of >> Maven, but I'm not sure if there is a good solution to that, is there? > > Not really. That said, it could be added to the apache parent pom so hopefully all the ASF projects can use it regardless of Maven version. That seems to be less your concern though. - Brett > > - Brett > > -- > Brett Porter > Blog: http://blogs.exist.com/bporter/ > -- Brett Porter Blog: http://blogs.exist.com/bporter/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
