With the roadmap discussion recently, I thought it was going to be an incremental move towards 2.0 on trunk - 1.2 will have some parts and refactorings, 1.3, 1.4 and so on. I'm not sure why there would need to be two streams of development? I think there's a real danger of getting lost in the 2.0 trap (c.f. Maven 1.0, Maven 2.0 and Maven 2.1 :) I'm actually keen to do a couple of small things myself and get a release out: - a few small bug fixes, like the lost change sets for some builds - better error handling - switch to a Jetty runtime without the plexus appserver so we can use jetty 6 - add a call to svn info --xml to check whether to do an svn update to speed up working copy updates Just stuff I see from running vmbuild and the maven zone. I think that and a couple of other refactorings that are being discussed on here would make a good 1.2 in the next couple of months.
