Benjamin Bentmann commented on MOJO-1122:
-----------------------------------------

Brett started a partly related thread about [house 
cleaning|http://www.nabble.com/-proposal--house-cleaning-td14473692.html] in 
Dec 2007.

I have no strong opinion about that topic. My only suggestion is to say "must" 
instead of "should" and "can". "should" expresses only a recommendation, 
leaving room for violations. If we really want consistency, I don't see a 
reason why some plugins should be allowed to make exceptions to the rules. If 
it's out on central (i.e. release and pre-release), it must have a dedicated 
JIRA project.

As for the check list: I guess you could simply add some section to the guide 
about [Performing a 
Release|http://mojo.codehaus.org/development/performing-a-release.html]. In the 
end, it's the responsibility of the community to remind developers of following 
these rules when performing their releases.

> We should clarify at which point plugins should get their own Jira projects. 
> Maybe something like:
> * every released plugin _should_ have a dedicated Jira project
> * pre-released plugin _can_ have a dedicated Jira project (*)
> * sandboxed plugins _should_ have a component under the MOJO
> (*) should we define some rules here ?
> * Jira project for Mojo plugins are named  "Maven 2.x Xxxx Plugin"
> And maybe create a check list so that people don't forget to do things when 
> moving out of the sandbox, releasing them, etc...
