I think it depends on whether the plugin will run without downloading those JARs. If so, no problem. If not, add it to the maven plugins project at sourceforge.
This is just my opinion - I don't know for certain about a policy of adding it when no download is required. In the long run, I think very few plugins will actually be distributed with maven, and instead be downloadable from the maven site (when under the Apache license), and the other Jars can then be dealt with independantly. There are issues in JIRA about plugin dependencies and downloading that you might like to look through (don't have the numbers, you'll have to search sorry). - Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Jefferson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, 11 August 2003 3:58 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Plugins : Policy on inclusion > > > Quick question ...
