I think you may be right about a shared component. Most of the
refactoring from 1.0 to 2.0 has been around cleaning up the plugin and
creating some more generic objects to allow better code reuse and
paramater consistency among the various mojos in this plugin. My main
concern right now is to get something released that works in place of
1.0. Since the plugin moved and nothing new was released since then, it
creates a bunch of confusion.

Before I do the release I'd like to get some form of integration tests
in place. My trouble is that I can't find a good example of integration
tests in plugins that rely on local and remote repositories.

Once the release is done I think it would be worth looking at making
this code shared. It probably means more overall work to release first,
but at least we have a semi functional dependency plugin in the
meantime.

If the goal is try try and make some useful dependency management tools
with this mojo why don't you make it a Plexus component which can easily
be reused in other mojos? I think composition is generally more useful
then inheritance. And it may end up that you have a set of components
that help with dependencies instead of trying to wedge everything into
one mojo. It seems to me that you're really trying to make a toolbox for
people to use when it comes to dependencies. Maybe something suitable
for maven-shared.
