This very issue is at the core of current design decisions for both
Maven 2.1 and updates along the 2.0.x branch. They're pretty close to
finding a decent way to stabilize plugin sets. I suspect by next
release of 2.0.x there will be a "default set" of plugins for that
version of maven that you can override, but unless you do, you'll get
that set of working plugins.
And for the record, they are decent people trying very hard to solve a
variety of problems with a very diverse set of users with vastly
different priorities. This is a community, and some respectful
collegiality is not out of line here. They may seem retarded to you,
but I've heard the same thing from jerks I've worked with who bitch
and complain about how flakey Tapestry is and how they chose web-works
instead because of it. This would all go a lot better if people
stopped bitching and consulted with each other and/or contributed code
(and yes, I've contributed patches, not to this project, but to
continuum, wotonomy, openbsd, and others). Your stress is totally
valid, and I agree that plugin sets should be stable. On the other
hand, however, if you lock down your plugins as per all the best
practices discussed on the Maven users list, you would also obviate
this problem until they have it resolved in the default tool behaviour.

Just a warning that something funky seems to have happened lately as
we've lost the majority of documentation for anything not on the main
Tapestry 4.1 site. (ie core / contrib / annotations / etc)
You can see this if you click on "Tapestry Core / Contrib" from the
left hand menu on the 4.1 site at
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/.
I'm not sure what to do about this right now but it seems like it's
probably concerning enough that I may be forced to take drastic action
to get it fixed.
F-ing asshole maven developers. ....I swear they seem so f-ing
retarded sometimes.
