OK, thanks again, but I'm still struggling. Probably something I've missed.
I declare the dll-dependency in the maven-plugin project. The plugin compiles without any problems. No .dll in the target directory unless I specify an execution of dependency-plugin - which is fine. In the project using my plugin, I have my plugin specified in the build section running an execution in the "generate-sources" phase. At this stage I can't find the .dll anyware in the target-folder. Even if I specify a separate execution of dependency-plugin in the pom, the plugin dll-dependency is nowhere to be found in the target folder. Are the plugin-dependencies not put in the target-folder during execution?

That is, in the project where you develop the plugin. Just like any dependency. Or if you want to be able to change this dependency (like version or what ever), you can add it as a dependency to the plugin where you bind the plugin in your maven project. /Anders On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 12:55, Halvor Platou <halvor.pla...@marinecyb.com>wrote: > Thanks for your reply. > > This is working perfectly for a normal maven project, but when my > maven-plugin has a dependency to the dll, I can't figure out how the plugin > itself can fetch this dependency during execution.
