Help with plugin - is this possible?

[Joel Sherriff <jo...@6thsenseanalytics.com>]

I've read the api docs but there some things I don't understand and
would appreciate some clarification on...
 
I'd like to write a plugin that records the main phase invocations
(compile, install, test, package, deploy, etc), the time, the project
being operated on, and probably some more info I haven't thought of yet.
I'd really like to be able to make this plugin be invoked without having
to modify any particular project's pom - but by configuring it in the
system settings.xml or user's settings.xml.  Is that possible?  The idea
is to create a record of the build activities that maven is driving, but
without having to intrusively modify the projects being built.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Joel

Hello Joel,

           Why don't try checking the continuum project. It might
satisfy your requirements.

           check this url :
http://maven.apache.org/continuum/about.html#what-is-continuum

           If not, you can start by creating plugin that will store the
current project information
     and create a report according to your specification. You can then
bind it to a build lifecycle.
     I think a generic one would be great, that way you can bind it to
any build lifecycle. All
     of the project information can be accessed through the plugin - I
think they call them mojos.

          for more details check :
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html
          
          I'll try to read further maybe I can give you more details. =)
Hope this helps.
