[jira] Commented: (MNG-1171) I wish there was a recommended way of naming plugins
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1171?page=comments#action_50324 ]
Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-1171:
------------------------------------
The standard naming convention is maven-<foo>-plugin and we've been using it for a long time.
> 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
> Components: documentation - general
> 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.
