The Maven team is pleased to announce the Castor plugin 1.1 release!

http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/castor/

A plugin for converting providing access to Castor from Maven

User-visible changes in this version:

- enables the mapping of namespaces for imported schemas to java packages. 
  See http://castor.exolab.org/SourceGeneratorUser.pdf for details.
- allows the directory containing castorbuilder.properties to be specified via the property 'maven.castor.properties.dir'
- updates the castor jar dependency from 0.9.4.3 to 0.9.5 

Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven 1.0 rc1.
Using it with another version of Maven is at your own risk!

You can install the plugin with Maven 1.0 rc1 or later using:
maven -DgroupId=maven -DartifactId=maven-castor-plugin -Dversion=1.1  plugin:download
