Just for the record this discussion of naming has popped up on the ruby and perl lists over the years.

Camel case naming which is what's generally used in Java is hard for non-english speakers to grok.

this-is-easier-to-read then thisIsEasierToRead.

Just another data point.

do we have an agreed naming convention for plugin goals? E.g.
reactor:makeMyChanges
and
dependency:purge-local-repository

obviously follow different rules. Having one naming style would ease
memorizing since users only need to remember the words and not also their
writing style.

Also for configuration parameters?  I commented on MWAR-159 about the
naming of the "filteringDeploymentDescriptors" param (compared to
'attachClasses' for example.)

I'd also drop the 'My' in the reactor example-- just makeChanges or
updateFiles, etc.

To clarify the goal's purpose I've renamed it to "makeScmChanges".

Thanks!
