What about if we let the plugin decide what it's default goal is? I could imagine plugins where the default goal named 'build' is not very descriptive. It's like having Ant with a build.xml file where at the top the default target is specified. This way, Ant itself doesn't say that the default target should be named 'blah'. Could the default goal be specified somewhere in the plugin descriptor? (if there exists such a thing. I'm not up to date about the new plugin structure) Ringo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
