Archtypes and plugin prefix

Hi,

does anybody know what's the rationale behind the parameter

http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/add-archetype-metadata-mojo.html#goalPrefix

and its corresponding impl in the Archtype plugin, i.e. why do 
archetypes bother to register a plugin prefix for them? I have a feeling 
this parameter/code is superfluous.

Looking at the AddArchetypeMetadataMojo.java, it appears this class was 
copied from the maven-plugin-plugin, probably without much review of its 
purpose and application to archetypes.

yes, you found the source of the copy/paste

removing seems safe

I agree. For me it is also an erroneous copy/paste
