I think that would help. Today the classpath issues seem greater with reporter (AbstractReporter) plugins than plain Mojo plugins.

I think this issue would go away if we could write a plugin-facilities api that gave easy access to the things plugins need to do in most cases. In other words, publish a formal, public api for Maven for the plugin developer. While it'd be nice to have full design docs for all of Maven, in 90% of cases this wouldn't help the plugin developer...it would only serve to create a new haystack to poke through (this one in HTML rather than Java). If we can be a little more selective this, and provide a plugin-oriented api for common tasks like resolving artifacts, building projects, etc. then document that, we'd probably alleviate the problems for 90% of users.

I find I have to search in a lot of places and dig deep into the code to find out information when writing plugins.
