[jira] Updated: (MNG-1171) I wish there was a recommended way of naming plugins

>          Key: MNG-1171
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1171
>      Project: Maven 2
>         Type: Wish

> What *is* the preferred article id naming for Maven Plugins?
> I've seen it as <pluginname>-maven-plugin   and maven-<pluginname>-plugin
> It would help me (and other users) avoid silly mistakes if there was a recommended pattern.
> I ran into this with the xmlbeans plugin.  The example had it named as maven-xmlbeans-plugin.  After looking at other plugins, it looks like this is the "standard".
> It seems like the name should either go at the beginning or end  (i.e. xmlbeans-maven-plugin,  or maven-plugin-xmlbeans).
> I'm wondering if there is really a rhyme or reason to this.  It would make it easier to write poms if there was some sort of recommended standard.
