Yes, but what Vincent is trying to do is capture a notion like "compiling the project". So he has started this process with the caller plugin. So if someone is using aspects and RMI then your plugin would still be off use. Vincent is trying not to tie a particular goal, the the RMI goal, to java:compile but to the notion of "compiling the project". I'm not sure how far Vincent has gone or if it is possible but for your use case we probably want to decorate the "compile a project" notion with a postGoal that does the RMI stuff. In this way various compilation mechanisms can be used any your RMI plugin would remain useful for all of them, even when you don't know in advance what those compilation mechanisms will be.
