Olivier Lamy: Maven 3 support in Hudson Maven Plugin

You have developped hudson plugins using the maven-plugin or you are an early adopter user : so this blog entry is for you !

Some stuff has been done in a branch called main-maven3-support [1] in github to support maven 3 in the Hudson native maven plugin.
The plugin now supports both maven 2 and maven 3.
Note the pom parsing to detect modules now use the maven 3 apis. (ProjectBuilder maven component [1])
You don't have something to install (just choose the maven version for your maven build) the plugin will detect which maven version is used for the maven build and use differents implementation to "listen" the build.

To test it, you can build it .
First build the embedder (note this will move to github soon)

svn co https://svn.java.net/svn/hudson~svn/trunk/hudson/lib/maven-embedder 
cd maven-embedder
mvn install

Then build hudson from the branch

git clone https://github.com/hudson/hudson
git checkout main-maven3-support
mvn clean install -DskipTests

And hudson.war is in war/target/hudson.war

I have pushed builds here : http://people.apache.org/~olamy/hudson/main-maven3-support/

Currently : maven2 build on master node doesn't work (under work !)

We need you for more testing and nice feedback (before merging this to master)

Have Fun !
