I looked at the new plugin groups stuff and have a couple ideas/

I'm going to create a framework plugin group. Is there some reason
this won't work?
I'd like to see the plugin groups distributed closer to where their
components are found, e.g. web-jetty in plugins/jetty. Does this
seem reasonable?
I think the car-maven-plugin can use another packaging style for
these plugin groups that will mean we don't have to configure much
of anything for the c-m-p. Maybe we won't need the empty plan either.
I thought the idea was to use only the plugin groups when assembling
our actual servers. Is this work still in progress? It looks to me
as if we have both a complete list of plugins plus the plugin groups
that would also pull them in.
Also I think we can modify the assemble-server lifecycle to use the no-
dependency-change mojo to check when stuff changes-- in particular
when we just use plugingroups for (most) servers.

Are there any jiras for this work?
