> currently, the coupling of the plugins is often very tightly related to the core, which can cause a problem if the API changes and the plugins are to be used across versions.
> we should look to:
> 1) separate the classloaders as much as possible (see other issue)
> 2) try and minimise and stabilise the public API of those being used (artifact, project, plugin-api most notably)
> 3) reduce use of Maven dependencies where possible
> 4) look at the expressions available and see if too much is exposed
