Brian Bonner commented on MNG-1171: ----------------------------------- FWIW, When I opened this up, I had only been working with Maven2 for a little while and Maven2 was still in Beta3. Since then, I've observed what Vincent described. When I was writing this, it wasn't clear (or documented) why they were named this way. When filling out pom.xml, as a maven user, I guess I thought the artifactId naming pattern would be consistent and the group ID (org.apache.maven.plugins) would be enough to indicate that it was a maven-provided-plugin. Thanks. > I wish there was a recommended way of naming plugins > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1171 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1171 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Wish > Components: documentation - general > Reporter: Brian Bonner > Assignee: Jason van Zyl > Priority: Minor > > > What *is* the preferred article id naming for Maven Plugins? > I've seen it as <pluginname>-maven-plugin and maven-<pluginname>-plugin > It would help me (and other users) avoid silly mistakes if there was a > recommended pattern. > I ran into this with the xmlbeans plugin.
