But we can, and will, hook into tests that people create. 

Benjamin has created and improved the core set of plugin ITs that we have and 
recently made an appeal on the Mojo list to try and get people to do the same. 
If plugin projects follow the same pattern that we have for our core plugins 
then we can integrate those into the grid and proactively find problems.

If every Maven plugin project created consistent ITs it would be quite easy to 
spin up some EC2 instances and run versions of Maven over all of them. It is 
not outside the realm of possibility to test the entire Maven ecosystem of 
plugins if we can get the individual projects to create ITs and register them 
somehow.

Sure.

I think ideally we should try to register the plugin projects somewhere and the 
grid and try to help projects do the testing where necessary. Someone should 
really be able to look at the grid and see if things are working for their 
plugin. Not sure what the best way is to get this to happen but it would be 
cool.
