Archive this project

[cstamas]

This project should be archived and no more cycles spent on it.

Transition to Eclipse Sisu is possible (is drop-in replacement), that clears migration path to plain Sisu/JSR330.
Do not use this container anymore: not it enforces bad practice, but a proper replacement is already out there.

What about to release 2.2 with Java 8 - we should get dependabot notifications - would be easier to upgrade each Project. WDYT?

[cstamas]

Why would you do that? What project is using Plexus Container?

[slachiewicz]

I think more component-annotations, metadata artefacts

Archive this one, finally.

Note: when this issue was created 2.1.1 was already out (with broken QDox), while 2.1.0 still had all of maven in compile scope. So a "nice" way to retire this would be to have one more release (there are some updates + QDox update), as 3.9.x still needs this plugin, it did not switch to JSR330 only master of Maven did.

Edit: so the PLUGIN is needed by Maven 3.9.x, but plexus container should NOT be used anymore for anything.

to me, the only thing that is not clear is the plugin migration https://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-containers/plexus-component-metadata/

for annotations, the current page is clear enough https://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-containers/plexus-component-annotations/

[hboutemy]

with #121 site publication, I hope we can archive this repository with good-enough practical pointers to know how to migrate

[slachiewicz]

I released the final release 2.2.0 with the plexus-default container removed and all other annotations marked as deprecated.
