[jira] Created: (MNG-1171) I wish there was a recommended way of naming plugins
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
Reporter: Brian Bonner
Priority: Minor
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.

FWIW, When I opened this up, I had only been working with Maven2 for a little while and Maven2 was still in Beta3. Since then, I've observed what Vincent described.
When I was writing this, it wasn't clear (or documented) why they were named this way.
When filling out pom.xml, as a maven user, I guess I thought the artifactId naming pattern would be consistent and the group ID (org.apache.maven.plugins) would be enough to indicate that it was a maven-provided-plugin.
Thanks.

Hi Jason,
AFAIK the naming convention for external plugins is *-maven-plugin and not maven-*-plugin which is reserved for the maven-provided plugins. At least that has always been my understanding...

The standard naming convention is maven-<foo>-plugin and we've been using it for a long time.
