Presumably wouldn't this just mean building plugins/ with the latest
candidate 2.1? If they don't already have Its, then they wouldn't be
avail to port to this new location anyway so I'm not sure it makes a
huge difference.

Subject: Standard location for a plugin smoke test

Hi,

Just doing some more planning for 2.1 and it would be very  
advantageous if we could harness many of the ITs created for plugins  
in a standard way so that we could run a build of Maven against as  
many plugins as we can get our hands on. I was thinking a standard  
directory location of a property in the POM pointing at the IT that  
should be used as the smoke test. We would also need a way to make a  
little attached artifact of this smoke test so that we have the smoke  
test for a particular release of a plugin for the future. I'm not  
sure how we would retrofit this but basically a standard way with a  
version of maven to test a version of a Maven plugin to make sure we  
haven't busted it's use. In particular I'm thinking of how to test  
2.1 with all the plugins we know to exist and make sure they continue  
to work under 2.1.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jason
