projecthelp & bundled plugins
Hi there,
Just wondering what people thought to renaming the projecthelp plugin
to a more general 'help' plugin? It would also fix the naming
discrepancy between 'projecthelp' and 'project-info-reports' plugin
names.
Also, I know the general plugin naming convention is *-maven-plugin
and was wondering if this would be applied to the plugins bundled with
m2? i.e. war-maven-plugin, etc. If so it may be worth doing so
before 2.0 final since it'll break pom plugin config in future.
Cheers,
Mark

+1 from me too. particularly since some of the mojos don't help with
projects, they help with settings, or plugins, etc.

Yeah thought it was a bit late to change, but figured it's now or
never. I think maven-*-plugin works fine for internal maven plugins,
and I guess the convention holds since they are indeed maven plugins
for the maven project.
Cheers,
Mark

Actually, I'd always seen the convention as maven-foo-plugin, with
bar-maven-plugin used when it is part of project "bar" (eg,
plexus-maven-plugin).
Given where we are now I think it's a fair convention to keep:
- *-maven-plugin for plugins outside the Maven project
- maven-*-plugin for plugins in org.apache.maven.plugins
Cheers,
Brett
