Naming convention for Maven plugin

[Martin Burger <m...@rtin-burger.de>]

Hello,

is there any naming convention for new Maven plugins? If my project is 
named "foo", should I name the belonging Maven plugin "maven-foo-plugin" 
($pom.id)? Are names starting with "maven-" reserved for official plugins?

Background: I named my plugin "ddchange-maven-debugging" and I wonder if 
that was a good idea. Perhaps I should choose "maven-ddchange-plugin" as 
it's name?

Regards,
    Martin

<product>-maven-plugin is the preferred naming convention. We will clean
up and change the names of the plugins in the Mojo project sometime
soon. "Real soon now!"
