Avro has its Maven plugins in a module that's used when compiling other modules. You can build all of Avro without installing any of it. So I do not think that Maven plugins need to be installed to be used, but can just be in a separate Maven module. The Hadoop plugins might, e.g., be placed a sub-module of Common. Doug
