Re: [m2e-users] Where can the old version of m2e be found?

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wiki [1] explains the reasons why m2e requires explicit configuration
for all maven plugins and [2] explains how maven plugin developers can
make their code compatible with m2e without separate m2e extension.

If you have specific ideas how to make m2e reliably work with any maven
plugin, ideally backed by working patches, please bring them up on
m2e-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx and we'll see how to incorporate them.
