    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-154?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=248639#action_248639 ] 

Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHANGES-154:
------------------------------------------

You can do this today using the standard Maven way of sharing resources.

First create a separate Maven project called maven-build-tools to house your shared reqources. It can consist of only 2 files: a pom.xml and the template itself at /src/main/resources/your/org/plugins/announcement/announcement.vm


Put this in your project's POM:
{code:xml}
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-changes-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.3</version>
          <configuration>
            ...
            <templateDirectory>your/org/plugins/announcement</templateDirectory>
          </configuration>
          <dependencies>
            <dependency>
              <groupId>your.org</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-build-tools</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
            </dependency>
          </dependencies>
        </plugin>
{code}
