in that case, I think we could do with a bit of renaming / reworking of the plugin plugin. All other <artifact-type> plugins follow this convetion:

install - copy to local repository /groupId/<type>s/artifactId.xxx
deploy  - copy to remote repostitory /groupId/<type>s/artifactId.xxx

however, the plugin plugin does this:

install - copy jar to ${maven.home}/plugins/${maven.final.name}.jar
deploy - unizip ${maven.final.name}.jar to maven.plugin.unpacked.dir = ${maven.home.local}/plugins


AFAICT there are no goals to place a plugin in a local or remote repository. Seeing as plugins are now just artifacts like any other would it make sense to modify the plugin plugin to match the other <artifact-type> plugins

Hi

I'm having trouble understanding how to use the artifact plugin.

Is it intended as a standalone plugin or simply to provide tags that can
be used in other plugins /  maven.xml?


The artifact plugins is only a taglib that other plugins like the
jar/war/ejb plugins use for deploying their artifacts.

Codereuse :)
