BTW, The naming convention for maven plugins is either 'maven-XXX-plugin' if supported by the maven team or 'XXX-maven-plugin' for all other plugins; this why Mark originally named it freemarker-maven-plugin. See https://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html
So someone looking for this plugin will almost certainly default to searching for "freemarker-maven-plugin" so it is possible that the existing name is the superior choice. -Ben On Thu, Sep 6, 2018 at 11:14 AM Ben Jackson <[email protected]> wrote: > Here is the existing codebase for this project. > > https://github.com/yahoo/freemarker-maven-plugin > > It seemed more straightforward to work through our opensource team to > publish the code so that it could be reviewed before continuing this > conversation.
