<li>
Look at release guide in tomcat 4.
</li>
+ <li>
+ Add maven:plugin-list target to list all known plugins from
+ remote repos. Each repo may optionally provide a plugins.list
+ file similar to the jars.list. A plugin is packaged as a jar file.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Add maven:plugin-install which looks for a property, <code>
+ maven.plugin.name</code> for a plugin (minus the .jar) to find in
+ a remote repo, download into <code>${maven.home}/plugins</code>
+ and unjar into <code>${maven.home}/plugins/${maven.plugin.name}</code>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Add a maven:plugin-delegators which produces a 'delegator list'
+ to be included into a build.xml file. The list is obtained by
+ scanning installed plugins, and reading their <code>plugin.xml</code>
+ document for <code>target</code> or <code>exports</code>. A target
+ is an entry point into the plugin, e.g.
<code>maven:validate-war</code>.
+ An <code>export</code> is an entry added into an existing <code>
+ target</code>, e.g. a plugin might add the <code>maven:docs-latex
+ </code> into the <code>maven:docs</code> target before usual
+ maven:docs processing is invoked. So exports can be before or
+ after.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ plugin.xml may also list other plugins that the plugin is
+ dependent on, which must be downloaded and installed as well.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ All plugins must provide intense sizzle, be goal-oriented, cooperate
+ in a plug & play manner, and optionally provide a powerpoint
+ presentation describing their management potential.
+ </li>
</ul>
