Hi Omar, Well, what Stephen advices *is* actually at least a part of the solution you're looking for.
Stephen says you MUST NOT use the org.apache.maven.plugins and maven-yourplugin-plugin naming scheme because this is a naming strategy reserved for core maven plugins. See the first section of http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html for example. In your case, maybe even more specifically this page: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugin-prefix-mapping.html (btw, note the sentence "If your plugin's artifactId fits this pattern, Maven will automatically map your plugin to the correct prefix in the metadata stored within your plugin's groupId path on the repository").
