John Casey commented on MNG-377:
--------------------------------

Forgot one point:

- modify the lifecycle executor's prefix lookup method to use the PluginGroupResolver.

> We have a default rule which will be used as a fallback, where the
> prefix "idea" is turned into "maven-idea-plugin". This will be retained
> if no other information is found.
> Before applying the default rule, some more metadata from the repository
> will be consulted. This will be stored at the group level, and named
> "plugins.xml".
> /org/apache/maven/plugins/plugins.xml
> /org.apache.maven.plugins/plugins.xml
> While this could potentially include version information as well, it is
> worth being able to check these on a plugin-by-plugin basis, and it also
> fits with the potential RELEASE specifier on dependencies. This could be
> reconsidered in future versions.
> Format of the file for now is simple:
> <prefixes>
>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>   <plugins>
>     <plugin>
>       <prefix>idea</prefix>
>       <artifactId>maven-idea-plugin</artifactId>
>     </plugin>
>     ...
>   </plugins>
> </prefixes>
> This particular file will also be updated at release time for a plugin
> (though it should rarely be necessary as only new additions need to be
> published back).
> The list of group IDs to search will be configured from settings.xml,
> with the default being just org.apache.maven.plugins. The process will
> be to load the plugins.xml file from each of the configured groups, then
> build the map of prefixes to plugin group/artifactIDs. If there is a
> clash, initially it should fail. We might allow using the first
> discovered or some other resolution mechanism, but would hope not to get
> that situation as a goal representation might start taking on different
> meanings in different contexts.
