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

Hmm .. I kinda like having them as another category of things. I can image that there might be groups created in the future that have an equal affinity to several components. For example, where would the framework plugin group fit?

It ought to be in framework, along with boilerplate. Unfortunately we can't quite crowbar it in yet.

I think putting the groups with the stuff they aggregate fits well with the long term goal that I thought we were agreed on to put most of the server plugins into /plugins and release them separately from the main server (i.e. framework).

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.
Are there any jiras for this work?
thanks
