+1 I like this plan.
Anywhere we have common version generic logic, I think we should pull
it into a helper module. Assuming we find some code, I suggest we
create the helper module as a peer to trunk to avoid version specific
stuff creeping in.

The car-maven-plugin is used as part of the geronimo build in G 1.2.
This plugin is also very usefull to build Geronimo plugins targeted
to G 1.1,
but has recently changed in a *slight* incompatible way.
However, I think that:
* it may be difficult in the future to ensure that a single maven
plugin
will be able to create car files for all past and future
version of Geronimo
* G 1.1 is out and a minor release is about to go. I think that
it will benefit
users to be able to write Geronimo 1.1 plugins wihtout
relying on a
snapshot plugin.
Hence, I propose that the plugin be forked to a new location,
/devtools/maven-plugin/geronimo-1.x/car-maven-plugin
(any better idea ?)
and that we release this plugin at the same time that the 1.1.1 is
out.
Thoughts ?
