Adding plugins to the core is not so much a matter of 'strategy'. The nar plugin is a non-trivial amount of code. So, for it to come to Apache, it would have to pass IP clearance. That means understanding the provenance of all of the code and that the people contributing it have sufficient rights to grant a license to the ASF.
That having been said, the existing Maven community is rather thinly spread across the many org.apache.maven.plugins. Adding another big, complex, plugin should, at least, lead to a pause for reflection. Nonetheless, If the authors are interested in contributing it, please join the dev list and start a discussion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
