stupid question : building plugins

[Kevin Galligan <ma...@kgalligan.com>]

This is going to sound like a moderately stupid question.  How do you 
build maven plugins from source?  I can get the source (no problems with 
svn).  I'd like to do a build of the latest but I can't really figure it 
out.  I've tried:

- Building everything by bootstrap.  I cannot get this to work, and I'd 
assume this is more than I'd really want to do anyway.

- Just trying to build the maven-plugins director.  I get the following:
Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository
   org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-tools-api:2.0.1-SNAPSHOT:jar

I tried building the maven-plugin-tools package, and start getting other 
dependencies.  So...

- I tried running 'mvn install' on the root of the maven source 
directory, which tells me I need the new version of the assembly plugin 
(which can't be built because I need the new core stuff, rinse and 
repeat...).  I tried doing this with the nightly and ran into similar 
issues.

Anyway, is there just a simple doc that has instructions for building 
new versions of the plugins?  Is there something simple I'm not doing? 
I've spent some time digging Nabble but can't find anything.

You don't need to rebuild all the plugins at once - just build the
plugins individually. The assembly change is unfortunate, we'll get
that released soon.
