To get the artifacts that's relative only to your plugin, you can use ${plugin.artifacts}.

Its the same as ${project.artifacts} except the "project" object is your plugin.

Thanks much for your answer.
When a plugin is called, I'm confused as to what Classpath the plugin
itself gets. I see the project gets what I would expect, the
<dependencies> from the POM -- at least that is what I see in
project.artifacts.

But the plugin doesn't seem to get it's <dependencies>... When I print
System.getProperty("java.class.path") I see only::
[INFO] current Classpath=
c:\cwb-tools\ant\maven-2.0-beta-cwb/core/boot/classworlds-1.1-alpha-2.jar

Is there a set of properties for plugins like there is for project
(i.e. plugin.artifacts)??

Does classworlds take care of this somehow?? I know that, for example,
Ant must be on my Classpath because teh plugin is able to invoke it...

Thanks,

Greetings,
I am trying to figure out how to pass on the Classpath to Ant. I know
how to do this programmatically in Ant (e.g. project.setProperty) .
What I am trying to work out is how pass on the Classpath from the
*plugin*. By trial and error, I see that ${project.artifacts} results
in a HashSet of JARs for the *project* -- not the plugin.
I have a couple of questions

1) Is there a relatively comprehensive list of standard properties
(e.g. project.artifacts) somewhere?? (i.e. Is there a plugin.artifacts
?? -- How would one know that??) I apologize in advance if this is in
the docs somewhere -- I have looked through them, and don't see
anything -- but may have overlooked them.
Expressions that use the ${project..} prefix will query the current
MavenProject object. Currently there doesn't seem to be a published
javadoc site for the maven-project project so you'll have to read the
sources for now.

But it's worth noticing that the MavenProject object closely mimics the
Model object which is documented in [1]. i.e: if you have the expression
${project.build.sourceDirectory} you would get the value "foo" from

<project>
 <build>
   <sourceDirectory>foo</sourceDirectory>
   ...

2) How does one know what the Java (or whatever) equivalent of a
property would be. (e.g. project.artifacts converts to a HashSet --
How would one know that without resorting to trial-and-error??)
See the first answer, when referencing ${project} you're querying a
MavenProject object.

3) Are there shortcuts like plugin.getDependencyPath( "axis:ant" ) in
maven2. (BTW: I do not want to use Marmalade. I am interested only in
using either Java and/or Ant)
${project.artifactMap}

Artifacts in the map are keyed using:

import org.apache.maven.artifact.ArtifactUtils;
ArtifactUtils.versionlessKey( String groupId, String artifactId )
