This sounds about right. I'd had plans to do some such thing, as for our workplace I created an installer plugin that basically does bits of dist and a bit more to create a tarball. Also, the SCM plugin has release type stuff in there that overlaps some with the release plugin. Rationalising all of this into dist + release-on-top-of-dist is a great thing.
I'm attaching a first patch incorporating the scm plugin.
In this approach all distros would be built off scm.
(requires maven.scm properties to be set in the project running the
plugin - that needs to be documented)
This also leads to a much simplified structure for the src and bin archive/assembly dirs (effectively I'm not using those).
I'm happy to send you the installer plugin offline to add that content if you are working on this.
I still have to look at it :-)
Anyway, do let me know if you like the direction taken so far.
Cheers, Mauro
