[discuss] move the plugin tools and reporting to shared

Hi,

I'd like to propose moving the plugin-tools and reporting-impl to  
shared, to decouple plugin releases from the maven core releases.  
Right now, building the plugins is blocked around maven 2.0.5.

The one downside to this is that the bootstrap requires the plugin  
tools to build plugins for the first time, so we'd need to find an  
alternate solution to that. It already depends on binaries of maven- 
archiver, so I'd suggest we take binaries of these too. I'd move  
pluggy to the bootstrap instead of to shared.

We still have on the bootstrap's roadmap to be able to build  
completely from source which is a separate issue.

The other alternative to this is to start thinking about cutting a  
2.0.5 release with what we have now.

WDYT?

I was thinking the plugin-api would stay in Maven (and plugin- 
descriptor model), but the plugin tools - the stuff used by the  
plugin plugin - be moved.

The core doesn't depend on them - just the bootstrap.

Are we just moving it, though it will still be coupled to the core?  
If the dependency is in one direction so the core depends on the  
plugin api that's cool with me.D
