For example, the official project plugins follow a naming scheme of maven-foo-plugin, while third party plugins follow a naming scheme of foo-maven-plugin. Similar to the distinction between “Apache Maven Foo Plugin” versus “Foo Plugin for Apache Maven”. ``` I like this and maybe can resolve my concern. Happy to PR if I get some agreement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
