How are plugins found?
When you reference a particular plugin, how does Maven know where to get it and what version to use?
How do you change your local environment to make use of a specific version of a plugin?

If you download source, you can use plugin:deploy or plugin:install

Referencing as in: adding a PMD report, or making use of the <ant> jelly tags.

It seems like this aspect of Maven is very mysterious; the algorithms/behavior are not documented.
I'd like to see something along the lines of:
"When Maven sees <foo> in your maven.xml, it references the baz plugin, which is downloaded and
installed as necessary. Maven will search for version y ...".

Not at all.

Read the FAQ. http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/optional/faq.html

AFAIK, the jdiff plugin is busted.

Plugins are built using maven plugin.

How are you referencing it? There are several ways?

Remove the others is the best way, or specify a dependency on the plugin.

Hi
I think the plugins are searched in the local repo and after this in
the remote repo...
Could someone tell me how I can use the optional plugins, now. Since they
are shifted out of the maven core plugins?
I had no problem to install the NCSS Plugin from sourceforge. But I can't
get a jar from the jdiff Plugin in the optional plugins.
I tried to check the project out of cvs to build it myself, but that
didn't created the jar that work (maven jar:jar).
Thanks a lot
