Is this a general problem, or just a short fuse?

The dependency plugin is a known problem, which I *thought* had been
fixed documentation wise recently. I was pushing for it to be moved
back to the sandbox since it hasn't seen a release since it was moved
to Apache (originally put together at mojo).

You probably want to use mojo's last release, dependency-maven-plugin, for now.

If there are other problems, bring them up and they'll get fixed.

the one that finally got me to write this was the dependency plugin,
which is listed on the main maven plugin list.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/


Now I don't know if the documentation is wrong for this particular
plugin or is it wasn't published, but as far as I can see
org.apache.maven.plugin:dependency-maven-plugin doesn't exist.

I did check repo1.maven.org and found something under
maven:maven-dependency-plugin:1.0 but who knows what the heck that is!

This is not the first time I've had to do some fancy footwork to deal
with plugins that should be available but are not (it usually requires
me finding it's origin and manually installing it). A lot of them come
from the Codehaus Mojo project and appear to be moving to repo1 (with
new groupId's) and are documented as standard plugins.

Would the powers that be *please* validate what is supposed to be
published with what is/is not published.

This is getting very annoying.

Of course, I may have missed some "special announcement" or something
but I shouldn't have to be doing funky configuration or manual
installs for my "build anywhere" m2 projects!

I hope I haven't offended anyone, but being the loud-mouth that I am,
I thought I'd start making some noise.
