The question which comes to my mind: Why do you need the dependencies of
your own ? Aren't the defined in your plugin's pom ?
Maybe I misunderstand a thing here?

I wasn't able to get the maven-artifact-transfer to function in my mojo. I
resorted to Aether's RepositorySystem.resolveArtifact() method.

This is the last issue I'm facing (famous last words.....)
I currently hard-code my plugin's key so I can obtain it while the mojo is
in action:
Plugin plugin = project.getPlugin("com.megacorp.stuff:my-plugin");
plugin.getDependencies()......
but I'd like to avoid that in case my successor decides to rename it or
something similar.
How can I the key programmatically, by reaching deep into the mojo?
Regards
Adam

I knew one must exist, but I hadn't looked at the docs - interesting.
The reason why I wrote it myself was to try to avoid the duplication of
configuration items, to try to keep it succinct. Otherwise the user would have
to enter the desired file names twice (or more) - once to extract it, and again
to feed it into the next mojo where the file contents are used.
> Furthermore the question is why do you need only certain files from it ?
It's a shared configuration file archive used by several projects. Not the
greatest idea, I know.

Yes, true, but to try to keep it all succinct and intuitive, I figured it is
best to make it a real dependency from the XML point-of-view.

You know that such a plugin already exists?
maven-dependency-plugin:unpack / unpack-dependencies ?
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/unpacking-artifacts.html
Furthermore the question is why do you need only certain files from it ?

Sounds good so far...so counting one place...
something like this.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>...
<groupId>..</groupId>
</artifactId>..</artifactId>
<version>..</version>
<configuration>
<groupId>Group to be unpacked</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact of being upackage</artifactId>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I assume you mean duplicated ? ( I understand that; But only a few
people here on the list have german background).

What do you think will the usage as plugin depenency change ?
You can give this via the plugin configuration and which means your
plugin must resolve it's dependencies and make a required download for
it...which can be easily done by using a maven-artifact-transfer[3].
But I don't see the requirement to define it in two place ?

The users of my plugin define a dependency which the mojo unpacks and extracts
certain files from.
At the moment, I have coded the plugin to take the groupId and artifactId of
this dependency via the mojo config.
This strikes me as doppel gemoppelt for the user to put that info in twice. I
thought I could just enter it once as a plugin dependency in the user project
pom - assuming it would be the only one.
