Hi there, I'm working on Renjin, an interpreter for the R language written in Java for the JVM. Since a major goal of the project is to make it easier to intermix R language packages and java packages, I'd like to develop a set of plugins for maven to that make it easy to include R-language packages in java/maven projects, and vice-versa.
I've tried to look through the docs, but I'm still not sure on how to build a plugin for a new repo layout: the idea would be that java developers could include a dependency for an R package like: <dependency> <groupId>org.r-project.cran</groupId> <artifactId>packageName</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> And have some sort of hook that would then track down the R sources from the CRAN repository, make some transformations, and then store as a jar in the local maven repo. Is this possible? Can someone point me to the javadocs for the relevant extension point? Many thanks, Alex
