SoapUI Maven Plugin v5.2.2

Hello,

Disclaimer:

This is a cross-post from http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/soapui-maven-plugin-5-2-0-not-published-to-SmartBear-repository/td-p/102327 which does not seem to get any more attention from SmartBear.

The issue:

The latest version of SoapUI Maven Plugin published to maven (and also smartbear maven repo, http://smartbearsoftware.com/repository/maven2/com/smartbear/soapui/soapui-maven-plugin/) is 5.1.3.

This version does not support the -really important- JsonPath assertion.

From the SoapUI github repository it can be seen that version 5.2.2 is ready, and can be built.

It is understood that SmartBear tries to promote and give more support to SoapUI pro edition and the readyApi suite, but please, do not fail your longtime users and show some respect and support to the community. There projects that due to their size cannot be migrated to readyApi at the moment while need the JsonPath assertions.

Don't get my attitude wrong, but try to understand.

It is really bad to discover broken functionallity when your CI server reports no errors, since it is using a maven plugin that simply ignores this type of assertion.
