That is not entirely correct, Plexus has it's own (native) component
personality but has also a Avalon personality for running Avalon
components. We are definitely interested in writing a OGSi personality for
Plexus. This will, as you say, make it possible to mix and match Plexus,
OGSi and Avalon components. It will also make it possible to use OSGi
components directly from Maven 2 Mojos through a field with a expression like
expression="${component.my.component.role}"
If anyone are interested in more information and/or want to look into
implementing this we can chat more on IRC: #plexus at irc.codehaus.org
