[M2] Q: Creating a Macintosh application with Maven2.0.4?

[Erik Husby <mh...@broad.mit.edu>]

With Maven 1 I was able to create a Macintosh application using Ant  
tasks in my maven.xml. A Macintosh application is particular  
directory structure that is blessed by setting an attribute on the  
directory. I've been able to duplicate everything in Maven2 except  
for the copying of the dependent jars to the correct location.

In Maven 1 I used the <deploy:copy-deps> tag. In Maven 2 I've been  
trying to use the dependency plugin. If I follow the examples on the  
web site, I get an error

The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugin:maven-dependency-plugin' does not  
exist or no valid version could be found

And I try to use the refactored plugin I get a similar error.

The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugin:dependency-maven-plugin' does not  
exist or no valid version could be found

Is there a working dependency plugin that I can use?

In the long term, I anticipate creating a MOJO to do this. If I  
create a MOJO, where do I find the necessary Java API documentation.  
Should I grab the Maven2 sources and start reading or is there a site  
with the Javadocs available?

Plugins under o.a.m.p are generally named maven-xyz-plugin.

"Other" plugins are generally named xyz-maven-plugin.

This is what you want:
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>dependency-maven-plugin</artifactId>

Taken from:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/dependency-maven-plugin/1.0/dependency-maven-plugin-1.0.pom
