In the geronimo project we are experiencing severe problems with our build related to plugins. Any advice on how to improve this situation would be appreciated.


Perhaps this is stating the obvious, but on the off chance it is useful, here 
goes...

I am consistently getting this failure in new4:
...
multiproject:install-callback:
    [echo] Running car:install for Geronimo Configuration for performing 
service deployments

BUILD FAILED
File...... C:\home\apache\geronimo\maven.xml
Element... maven:reactor
Line...... 58
Column.... 112
Unable to obtain goal [multiproject:install-callback] -- C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.maven\cache\maven-multiproject-plugin-1.4.1\plugin.jelly:256:30: <attainGoal> No goal [car:install]
Total time: 9 seconds

Goal [car:install] is implemented by the geronimo-packaging-plugin.

After my build fails, I check the maven cache and I only see the following two 
plugins:

dir c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/.maven/cache/

        geronimo-dependency-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT
        geronimo-deployment-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT

No packaging plugin. Do you think the plugin was removed from the cache or did it not get put in the cache in the first place?

Going to try an experiment... run sysinternals filemon watching for file geronimo-packaging-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT, kick off a build and watch what happens. If the file is never created, that will be a useful clue.
