I think it'd be a great idea for each plugin to have a url output so when an error occurs, maven can output the error and give the user some direction on where to go for help. with more and more plugins moving out of maven-core and into the sourceforge project (and other places), it becomes unclear where to go for support.
So, just as the dependency downloading tells user's where to go for the artifact they are looking for, the error message should tell them where to go for help with their problem. Ex: BUILD FAILED PLUGIN JDEVELOPER ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR.
