I uploaded maven-plugin-testing-1.2-10.jpp6. Give it a try. I have not
had time to test maven22 much, so you're likely the first one who is
trying to test this.

I changed the Epoch in maven-plugin-testing from 0 to 1, so be warned. I
am thinking that the 1 epoch will help with removing
maven-shared-plugin-testing-harness automatically in order to avoid
conflict between the old and new versions of this package

There is an issue with having both maven versions installed at once.
This will not work because what happens is that there is a shared map in
/etc/maven/fragments that makes it impossible to have more than one
version of a an artifact with the same maven groupId:artifactId. In this
case, we can only deal with one version of the maven core at a time for
now until we fix that issue with our resolver.

It turns out that the plugins can generally be shared between maven 2.0
and maven 2.2 (or maven 3), so most of the plugins do not have this issue.

I also have work on maven 3.0.4 in progress, but no estimate on when
this work will be completed.
