It is also interesting that  we jumped on wagon of minor convention
and forgot the praise for  all the good works that developer has put
in :-)

There is no way that we can infer enforcement this convention. If the
plugin belongs to a group then it is possible.

however, personally I like name-maven-plugin since it is easy to use
key board to do auto complete when I have bunch of plugins to manage.

Subject: Re: Maven Overview Plugin version 1.4 has been released


as long as the plugin has its own groupId, the artifactId
can be any thing.


IMHO, even if the plugin has its own groupId, I agree with
Stephen that it's better to keep the convention :
maven-_____-plugin for o.a.m.p plugins
_____-maven-plugin for other plugins


This was news to me to. Is this documtented anywhere - prehaps it needs to
be or made more prominent.

The only thing I could find from google (maven plugin naming conventions) was the following two pages neither of which stated this convention.


http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/writing-plugins-sect-plugin-prefix.html

<snip>In other words, when the Maven Plugin Plugin is generating the Plugin descriptor for your plugin and you have not explicitly set the goalPrefix in your project, the plugin:descriptor goal will extract the prefix from your
plugin's artifactId when it matches the following patterns:
${prefix}-maven-plugin, OR
maven-${prefix}-plugin
</snip>

And

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html

Which mentions nothing... It seems like although codehause standardised one _-maven-plugin and maven.a.o standardised on maven-__-plug-in other
groups haven't standardised on either and they are all a mix

e.g.
       maven-jetty-plug-in (org.mortbay.jetty)


except, afaik, jetty have changed from maven-jetty-plugin to
jetty-maven-plugin *because* they were told (by somebody other than me) that the convention was ____-m-p for not o.a.m.p and m-____-p only for o.m.a.p

See: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Maven+Jetty+Plugin

*Jetty Version Information*

Jetty7 - This plugin was renamed to jetty-maven-plugin to better conform to
maven2 convention.




       tools-maven-plugin (org.apache.geronimo.genesis.plugins)
       maven-jaxme-plug-in (org.apache.ws.jaxme)

(also try a quick search in nexus for *-maven-plug-in and maven-*- plug-in -
and it looks like the hourse has bolted..)
