grails-user - jQuery plugin requires 1.2.2 now?

On one of my projects I'm still using grails 1.1 and need to upgrade to the
latest jQuery but I see that the jQuery plugin now requires 1.2.2. Scanning
the mailing list and the JIRA tickets I don't see a reason why this was
updated (except for the fix from requiring 1.3.1 back down to 1.2.2). I'm
curious if there is a reason why the plugin now requires 1.2.2 or if it was
just set to that because Burt B asked? I don't mind branching the plugin and
updating it for my own purposes, but I thought I would check to see if there
was a reason I shouldn't be doing that in grails 1.1.
Thanks,

I did this. Purely because I don't touch pre-1.2.2 releases now.
However there *were* problems around 1.1 era with including resources from plugins (pluginContextPath issues) which may preclude you using the new jq:resources mechanism that pulls jq in from the plugin instead of downloading it and installing it into your app. This approach is IMO much preferred because installing version X of jq will give you that version of jquery, with no need to mess with your project files.
This becomes more important when you factor in other grails plugins depending on certain versions of jquery (plugin). Grails would install the new jquery plugin they depend on, but you would then have multiple copies of jquery in your app (one in your web-app folder, one in the jquery plugin) and plugins might use one, your app the other etc.
Its just messy :)
