Description

The class org/apache/maven/artifact/transform/SnapshotTransformation was originally (apache-maven-2.2.1) bundled in maven-2.2.1-uber.jar

However this is now missing from maven 3.0.* releases.

As a result, one of the flex-mojo's sonatype project goals breaks when run under maven 3.0.* series.

The bug report is here.

https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/FLEXMOJOS-397

It's been marked as Fixed as the developer is adamant that API compatability is supposed to be maintained between Maven 2 and 3 series but is very much still active.

There are no more releases planned in that series but it is depended upon by many developers.

Best Regards,

Bryan Hunt
