Can we achieve backward compatibility with 2.0.x or do we have to go with 2.1 only? It would be nice if at least plugins that start using toolchains would not require 2.1.
The only roadblock for backward compatibility is the build-context that is needed for inter-plugin communication. Build-context seems to be relatively independent of the rest of maven, just requires plexus container that is newer than the one used in 2.0.x. Can we upgrade?

Implementation

The feature is developed mainly on trunk. toolchains components toolchains plugin
Only the changes to existing plugins are on branch.
