Good day to you Michael,
First of all, there is not local plugin repository. It is just one
repository for all artifacts, so don't worry if you see your plugin in your
${user.home}\.m2\repository.
Anyway, the most direct approach to use your plugin is to follow the
following command:
mvn <groupId>:<artifactId>:<version>:<goal>
Thus, in your case, that would be
mvn org.apache.axis2.maven2:axis2-aar-maven-plugin:1.1:exploded
For the short hand version, you can try
mvn axis2-aar:exploded
that's basically the in format
mvn <prefix>:<goal>
wherein <prefix> is a part of your plugin's artifact id...either
<prefix>-maven-plugn or maven-<prefix>-plugin.
And lastly, if your plugin's groupId is not org.apache.maven.plugins, you
would have to add
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.codehaus.modello</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
to your settings.xml to use the shorthand goal invocation.
Cheers,
Franz
