This proposal is a collection of features and changes that I think are necessary for Maven to not suck. Obviously, not sucking is a completely subjective goal so it is defined as making Maven do what Don Brown thinks it should do. I've created a branch in the Maven sandbox to collect my changes and facilitate any collaboration. I'll be converting any new features or changes into Maven JIRA issues to encourage the code to get back into the Maven project, however it is anticipated that many changes will be rejected as they may go against the official Maven direction.
The deliverable from this proposal is a set of sandbox "releases" or versioned snapshots that I will be using in my open source and commercial work, however, I hope other people will find them useful. I'll be making the changes on the latest released version of Maven to ensure stability.
