Hot to set the prefix for a plugin

[Wendell Beckwith <wb...@gmail.com>]

Thanks to help from Brett and the ability to hit my head against the wall 
without giving up, I now have my plugin at least installing and working. 
However it only works when I execute it with the groupId:artifactId:goal 
formula. How do I set the prefix for it? I noticed a plugin.xml in my 
<repo>/com/intervoice/maven/plugins directory with the following content:

<metadata>
<groupId>com.intervoice.maven.plugins</groupId>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<prefix>hello</prefix>
<artifactId>maven-hello-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</metadata>

Since I didn't create it, m2 must have, however I have not found a way to 
actually use the prefix 'hello' with my goals. 

Also I use to have a settings.xml file, but since I wiped everything out and 
started fresh by building 2.0-beta-1, I no longer have a
settings.xmlauto-generated. In its place I now have a
plugin-registry.xml file. Somewhere, can't find the message at the moment, I 
saw an email that said I needed to add an xml fragment to my settings.xml, 
however the settings descriptor document doesn't show where to any <prefix/> 
element. So in a nutshell, how do I make this work?
