hi,

is it possible to reuse plugins in that way that i can call them through a
new plugin (composing plugins). that means define dependency in pom.xml to
respective plugins and being able to call them with certain configurations
inside a new developed custom plugin.

an alternative is to define a new parent pom.xml where chaining plugins
could be done. but i want to avoid, that parent hierachies are getting to
deep and too many parents exist. further more i would like to introduce a
new pom packaging type (tomcat-axis2) which is as far i know only possible
through a custom plugin.

in current situation it is neccessary to chain 4-5 different plugins, which
should "express themselves as one big one". the task is to deploy a built
axis2 app on tomcat.

following flow must be achieved:
1) calling assembly plugin for getting all dependencies and being able to
express depedencySets through assembly descriptor
2) calling aar plugin to pack axis2 app (maybe mar plugin on top of that
too).
3) calling war plugin to get a j2ee webapp (aar/mar inside)
4) calling tomcat plugin to deploy all stuff

thanks for your thoughts.
