Paul McMahan commented on GERONIMO-3330:
----------------------------------------
capturing a couple of comments on this JIRA provided by David Jencks during a
conversation at OSCON:
* the <plugin-module> element should be renamed to something else like perhaps
<plugin-artifact>. using "plugin-module" for the name could be misleading
since it implies that the information provided within it is a composite part of
the overall plugin when actually it is an stand alone entity that is to be
treated as separate and disjoint from its sibling elements
* smooshing the group, artifactid, version, and type into a <module-id> element
by using '/' as the delimiter is inflexible and not consistent with maven. the
information about a plugin module should instead be broken into <group>,
<artifactid>, <version>, and <type> elements
> plugin schema for reducing redundancy in the catalog

> GERONIMO-2757 introduced some changes to the geronimo plugin schema to allow
> more flexibility with specifying the geronimo version for a plugin. Further
> refinements to the schema can provide even greater flexibility and reduce the
> redundancy and complexity in plugin catalogs. Grouping the version and
> container sensitive part of the plugin data into elements within
> <geronimo-plugin> will help avoid separate catalog entries for tomcat and
> jetty compatible plugins, and also associate the version sensitive data
> closer to the geronimo-version element. I will attach a schema that
> demonstrates how this can be implemented.
