custom plugin combining/calling up other plugins

[aldana <al...@gmx.de>]

hi,

i need plugin functionality which should reuse functionality from two others
(dbunit+jetty) and add some custom additional behaviour. generally i try to
avoid building custom plugins and to reuse existing ones but now i got a
very specific probem for integration tests. further more the plugin
configuration should be easier to read as fiddling/workaround/hacking around
with configurations.  

what is the best practice to call other plugins in a custom plugin? do i add
these two other plugins as dependency and just call them up in plugin-code?

thanks

thanks.

The MojoExecutor worked very well for me:

http://code.google.com/p/mojo-executor/

Just statically import the methods and use as per the example in the page.

Hope that helps!
