Did you guys sort out which one is going to be used long term? The
execute or exec plugin? We should probably lean toward usings commons-
exec. Is that what you're using?

Are you aware of the plexus component that brett started for dealing
with keys and keystores?

http://svn.plexus.codehaus.org/trunk/plexus-components/plexus-password-
store/

Might want to take a peek at that first.

I'll add this one later on today. I think the two above there need some
syncing with other code before being added to the matrix. If you've
already chatted with Jesse then just ping me and I'll add whatever is
needed to the matrix. I'm in IRC.

I've just commented on the mojo list about your note on exec vs execute
differences. 

I don't see much difference and for me exec is a clear superset of execute.

Let's continue the discussion on the mojo list.

Thanks

- execute and exec are not solving the exact same problem. I've put
some notes in exec-maven-plugin/NOTES about potential merge. Not sure
they will be merged.
- today plexus-utils cli and commons-exec are mostly similar.
commons-exec will go throught several changes, so I prefered to keep
using plexus-utils until commons-exec stabilizes

No idea. That mean I will have to change the implementation to use his
plexus component, right?
I also wrote jar signing (MNG-1130), implemented around jarsigner.

The keytool plugin and the jar signing are reused by the webstart plugin.

Justed look at it.
Just handles password right know. So it's not in a state I can reuse.
Brett do you plan to add key generation?
Anything you can reuse from my plugins?
