William added these pithy words on Jul 13 07 at 8:43 pmBrett,
aside from the http://library.mergere.com/ link no longer resolving, in chapter 5 ‘Developing Custom Maven Plugins’ it mentions that you’ll need to work with the external buildinfo project which can be found in the source code that accompanied the book. When I downloaded it, the book was just a PDF, no source code included.
From where can I get that source?
