plug-in project.xml

[Dave Ford <df...@smart-soft.com>]

I have just successfully created my first plug-in. Darn, that was easy! I'm
really starting to like Maven. Question: what's the purpose of having a
project.xml inside of a plug-in?

It is a bad mixing of concerns to be honest. It serves as the build POM
for the plugin but also acts as a set of instructions for the
classloader in Maven when running a plugin. In subsequent revisions the
plan is to separate these build time and runtime concerns.
