I'm confused here.  I thought Marat was talking about a Maven plugin, not an
ArgoUML plugin, in which case I don't see why it needs to be distributed
with ArgoUML.
 
If you (Linus) are saying that the Java WebStart distribution already
doubles as a Maven2 repository for ArgoUML, doesn't that meet his
requirements?  The directory root appears to be
http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/maven2/, but since it's not browseable,
I can't tell if it includes the necessary POMs in addition to the jars.

Hello Marat!
 
I think your mail clarifies the two uses of Maven.
 
I would like to label them the "development environment"-use and the
"distribution"-use.
 
Structuring the Java Web Start distributed as a Maven2 repository was done
to allow for the "distribution"-use. At the time, we didn't know the
purpose.
 
If you now want to download and start argouml with your plugin from Maven,
we just need two things:
* Add your plugin to the distribution of argouml.
* Complement the Java Web Start-distributed argouml with control files for
maven2 distribution (if any).
 
There is no need to convert the development environment unless that is the
only way to create the control files for distribution.
 
Your plugin is either a separate project or added directly in the core code.
That depends on the roadmap. The Java Web Start-distributed files are
created by the argoumlinstaller project. Please dig into that to find if it
is possible to add creation of the control files.

Hello!

I'm currently writing maven plugin for argouml. It will allow
automatical export of argouml diagrams to browser-viewable formats 
during site generation. Actually plugin code is almost finished
however I need argouml in maven repo in order to be able to specify
plugin dependencies on it.

As far as I understood you don't have any objections against migrating 
argouml to Maven.

So I have two questions:
1) What's the best way of submitting contributions?
2) Are there any things I should consider when writing Maven
configuration for argouml?
