Yes, these examples do seem general-purpose and not Hadoop-specific. Unless we have Hadoop-specific plugins that Codehaus won't accept then this seems like it might just end up as a staging area where we put plugins until they get released somewhere else. So it might be interesting to start exploring just how hard it is to get a new plugin added at Codehaus. They make it sound pretty easy. http://mojo.codehaus.org/contribution/submitting-a-plugin.html In the meantime or if that gets stalled then publishing them ourselves seems reasonable. +1 Doug
