Yes, for the plugins we have developed in house it is no problem but that is not what I am struggling with right now (as you noticed).
Reorganizing the tree is an option and is exactly what I am considering right now. However, I would rather keep a functional organization of my build tree and use features of the build system for controlling the build of different type of artifacts. A functional organization makes it easier for developers to check out and build only the part of the tree they are working on. A build tree organized after artifact type does not map to responsible developer/team very well. Perhaps it would be possible to use profiles for controlling the use of plugins and let the packaging activate the profile? Thanks.

(I just read your post again, and see that you are using standard Maven mojo's and are not developing your own.) You probably noticed that running a mojo for all projects is easy. But that running for a subtype is more work. You could consider using an inheritance tree for your poms. + toplevel pom --jar pom ----FooBar pom --ejb pom ----FooBarEjb pom You would then define the checkstyle stuff in the jar of ejb poms. But it will probably not fit somewhere. jeroen On 19/04/07, Jeroen Leenarts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This will wett your appetite: > > /** > * @parameter expression="${project.packaging}" > * @readonly > */ > private String packaging; > > /** > * @see org.apache.maven.plugin.Mojo#execute () > */ > public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, > MojoFailureException { > getLog().info(packaging); > if (packaging == null || !packaging.equals("ejb")) { > > Regards, > > Jeroen > > On 19/04/07, Peter Nilsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a build tree with 30+ projects of different packaging (jar, pom, > > dll, > > so, plugin, etc) built with Maven and I would like to specify in the top > > pom.xml that certain plugins are used for all projects of a given > > packaging. > > For example, I would like to have the CheckStyle plugin run on all > > projects > > with packaging "jar". > > > > Of course I can set the configuration of the plugins in the top pom > > (with a > > pluginmanagement tag) and then just invoke the plugin explicitly in the > > projects but I would like to enforce that the plugin is used for all > > projects of the given packaging.
