dIon,
I have probably missed the discussion but I've read agin the task list
and I don't see any hint of what I describe below ...
For example, here is what I would imagine for the doc plugin :
- provide a location (maven.doc.plugin.destDir for example) where
plugins can generate their reports
- the doc plugin will loop on all the directories located in
maven.doc.plugin.destDir and add them to the "Maven Reports" menu
- the doc plugin can also look for a description of the report generated
by the plugin in its metainfo. Or simply look for a
${maven.doc.plugin.DestDir}/<pluginreportname>/report-description.xml
file to be included in maven-reports.xml
What we need is the ability to add a plugin without interfering _at all_
with existing plugins (i.e. not to have to modify them to make the new
plugin work).
For example the clover plugin should be able to be dropped in the plugin
directory and work directly as is. I should be able to have a quilt
plugin that work in the same way.
Is that more clear ?
Thanks
-Vincent
