Is support of Maven 4.x planned for the openclover maven plugin?

As I cannot file any issues in https://github.com/openclover/clover-maven-plugin I'm posting my question here.

I have a project running well with openclover 4.5.0 configured as

    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.openclover</groupId>
          <artifactId>clover-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>4.5.0</version>
          <configuration>
            <targetPercentage>75%</targetPercentage>
          </configuration>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <phase>pre-site</phase>
              <id>instrument</id>
              <goals>
                <goal>instrument</goal>
              </goals>
            </execution>
            <execution>
              <id>report</id>
              <phase>verify</phase>
              <goals>
                <goal>check</goal>
              </goals>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>

that runs fine with Maven 3.9.5 and fails with Maven 4.x as coverage is not measured correctly and build fails with:

[INFO] OpenClover Version 4.5.0, built on 2023-10-04

Hi! Support for Maven 4.x in the long term - absolutely, this is one of three primary build systems supported.

Having said this, this is rather unlikely to happen in this calendar year. Current plans are:

• 4.5.0 released this month
• 4.5.1 with fixes for 'record' - hopefully this month
• 4.5.2 with switch expressions and sealed classes - hopefully Nov/Dec
• 4.6.0 with full support for Java 17 and Groovy 4 - hopefully end of Q1'24

I will keep Maven 4 in mind, maybe I'll adjust the roadmap after Java 17 is done.

Thanks for the feedback, would you mind enabling issues on the plugin subproject over at https://github.com/openclover/clover-maven-plugin ?
