>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-128
>             Project: Maven Project Web Site
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Marshall Schor
>            Assignee: Brett Porter
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The page http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html has a small entry under "shortening the command line" which says that artifactId patterns maven-$name-plugin and $name-maven-plugin are treated specially (by convention). 
> The email of Sep 27, 2008 to maven users list, from Stephen Connolly says
> AFAIK only plugins with the groupId org.apache.maven.plugins are allowed to
> use the maven-______-plugin pattern.  I could not find this documented (other than on the users email list.).
> The page http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugin-prefix-mapping.html
> says that the conventional mappings only happen for the "maven-$name-plugin" style, and don't mention the other style ($name-maven-plugin).
> I recommend using the text from the 1st ref (which seems to be the clearest) as a starting point, to augment and expand the text in the 3rd ref.
> The Complete Reference book is missing this information, as well, I believe.
