artifact plugin

[Nathan Coast <na...@codeczar.com>]

Hi

I'm having trouble understanding how to use the artifact plugin.

Is it intended as a standalone plugin or simply to provide tags that can 
be used in other plugins /  maven.xml?

Eric Pugh posted almost exactly the same question about a month ago but 
there was no reply.

Yeah, thats right. I've been thinking about that. Why don't you create a
issue in jira unless there already is one. And try to create a patch for
it, shouldn't be to hard.

I think this would be the 'right' goals

deploy: deploy to remote repos
install: install in MAVEN_HOME
'local': install in ~

This might break a few thing but it is still the right thing to do.

in that case, I think we could do with a bit of renaming / reworking of 
the plugin plugin.  All other <artifact-type> plugins follow this convetion:

install - copy to local repository /groupId/<type>s/artifactId.xxx
deploy  - copy to remote repostitory /groupId/<type>s/artifactId.xxx

however, the plugin plugin does this:

install - copy jar to ${maven.home}/plugins/${maven.final.name}.jar
deploy  - unizip ${maven.final.name}.jar to maven.plugin.unpacked.dir = 
${maven.home.local}/plugins

AFAICT there are no goals to place a plugin in a local or remote 
repository.  Seeing as plugins are now just artifacts like any other 
would it make sense to modify the plugin plugin to match the other 
<artifact-type> plugins

The artifact plugins is only a taglib that other plugins like the
jar/war/ejb plugins use for deploying their artifacts.

Codereuse :)
