Improve pluginList to support "mavenish" urls
---------------------------------------------
Key: MFINDBUGS-87
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MFINDBUGS-87
Project: Maven 2.x FindBugs Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: All
Reporter: Peter Liljenberg
If I want to add my own checkers to Findbugs I'm supposed to use the
<pluginList> tag to provide the name (and path) to my jar file.
This doesn't seem like a very "mavenish" way of resolving dependencies?
Wouldn't it be better to supply a list of artifacts instead? And download
whatever was necessary from repositories?
Resolving and downloading artifiacts is easy to do and then the necessary
filepaths (in your plugin code) can be resolved to the local repository.
Would be nice to get this working since hardcoding a path is not really a
feasibly solution for our team.
<pluginList>group:artifact:version,group1:artifact:version</pluginList> could
be used and then parsed in the code to a valid Artifact to be resolved. I'm not
doing any Groovy work myself, but I could write the Java code necessary to get
this to work and send it to you for conversion if you like?
