Why so many core-it plugins?

["Brian E. Fox" <br...@reply.infinity.nu>]

If you look here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/core-integration-testing/trunk/co
re-integration-testing-plugins

 

You will notice that we seem to have separate whole plugins for
individual purposes. Is there a reason that each one needs to be a
separate plugin as opposed to a new mojo in a single plugin? Having one
seems like it would be easier to manage and possibly quicker to execute
since it would only need to be resolved and downloaded once (unless
cleared by an it). 

 

Assuming that at least some of these can be combined, and since I need a
new mojo and there isn't an obvious place to add one, I'm going to
create a maven-it-plugin-all. Unless there's a good reason, this should
be used for future tests instead of making a new one.

I just wanted it to be easier to see the purpose from the outside  
instead of globbing them all together.
