Hi Craig,

In short, yes.
I began plugin version 3.0 over a year ago on a Mercurial clone of the SVN repo used for the plugin up until 2.1.
I began a complete overhaul, and have addressed many of the outstanding issues against 2.1 but the wind changed at work and the 3.0 branch is broken.
I will endeavour over the weekend to get this admin stuff sorted and I will email this list with Mercurial repository details so you can pull your own clones.
I made this harder for myself I guess when I chose to move to Mercurial for its obvious benefits for accepting contibutions. Sadly CollabNet never supported it and java.net still doesn't as far as I know.
If people prefer Git I could always move to Git instead - it's all the same to me.

Backporting my bug fixes from 3.0 to 2.2 shouldn't be a problem. I'll get the repo in a better state for contribution first though.
Thanks for the interest.

Dave
