The process of writing a maven plugin is really a lot more complicated than it ought to be. When I started on Clojureshell I couldn't really find any relevant javadocs anywhere and had to go through a lot of trial and error before I got classloading working. And running clojure inside the maven process wasn't really a serious design decision; it just seemed a lot easier than spawning a child process ;) BTW, you mentioned the official maven clojure repo, is that repo1.maven.orgor somewhere else? I can find clojure-1.0.0 there, but not clojure-contrib.
