What does plugin doc mean when it says "Maven 2"?
The http://maven.apache.org/plugins documentation for several/many/most of
the plugins refer to themselves as being Maven 2 plugins.
If it will help, I'll file issues on this under Jira, but I'm not sure
where. Does this generally mean:
- the website is out of date?
- the plugin documentation just needs to updated to say Maven 3? If so,
should it say "Maven 2/3" to cue Maven2 users that it's correct for them,
too?
- the plugin documentation is just plain out of date - more needs to be
fixed?
- the plugin isn't known to work under Maven 3?
Because I've been paying attention, I'm pretty sure "plugin isn't known to
work" is not true for any mainstream plugins. But a newbie isn't going to
know that. Their assumption will be that Maven 3 is a lot less baked than
it is.

Brett,
Thanks, done. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4868
I did separate patches for each plugin, in case responsibilities are with
different committers.

According our tests cases, all plugins are backward compatibles,
except site plugin. You should use site-plugin:3.0-beta-2.

A patch in JIRA would be great.
Most of this is a leftover - when the plugins started, they were to be contrasted with "Maven 1", which had typically been labelled "Maven X plugin". They never got updated.
As far as I'm concerned, we should drop the "2" wherever we can. "Maven" refers to supported versions of Maven - those being 2.0.11, 2.2.1, and 3.0 :)
Cheers,
Brett
