Post plugin:download action
Hi All,
Is there any built-in mechanism for performing tasks after downloading a
plugin (or at least after the plugin is expanded to the cache directory)?
What I would like to do is allow my plugin to do things immediately after
someone downloads it.
For example, I have developed a plugin that defines additional templates for
use with the standard genapp plugin. When someone downloads my plugin, I
want my plugin to perform some "initialization". In this particular case, I
want my plugin to "initialize" itself by copying its template files to
${user.home}/.maven/template (after clearing out old copies of its template
files), which is a standard location that the genapp plugin searches for
templates.
Is there any way to do this, or is this an RFE?
Of course, within my plugin I could add a postGoal for plugin:download to do
this, but that won't help the first time someone downloads my plugin.
Cheers,
Chuck

Nope. Doesn't get executed unless you execute a goal/preGoal/postGoal from
that plugin.

Can't you just put it in the pluginl.jelly outside of a goal? And next
time maven runs it will be executed.
