There are Maven plugins being developed in a number of different places.
You might want to take a look here and see if any of those options make
sense / appeal:

I like option 1. Since Beehive is no longer a BEA-only project it seems
to me we should figure out how to support things like the Maven plugin
that add value to Apache Beehive and our users.

Subject: Maven Plugin
Over the course of creating several controls, I've created a maven
beehive plugin which takes care of building, testing, and building
webapps. Now that I'm heavily using it for controlhaus I'd like to make
it available to the public. I think its very useful and lowers the
barrier of entry to the public. To start using Beehive I no longer need
to fool around with build scripts I just add a line to my
"project.properties" that says "beehive.compile.enable=true".
Plugins are distributed through ibiblio or other maven distribution
sites. So, once there is a plugin release to install the plugin users
do something like this to install it:
maven plugin:download -DartifactId=maven-beehive-plugin
-DgroupId=beehive -Dversion=1.0
However, the key here is maintenance. As no one in BEA is using maven
for Beehive it appears that I would be the maintainer. So two options:
Option 1
This could potentially go into the Beehive SVN somewhere. Then I could
maintain either through being nominated as a committer or through
patches. If the latter someone would need to both patch for me and
deploy the plugin onto ibiblio (deploying takes like 5 minutes).
Option 2
Host at controlhaus. This doesn't exactly seem like a control, which is
my only problem with this option. The pros are that I already have
complete infrastructure access :-).
Other options? Thoughts?
- Dan
