The maven-car-plugin has been implemented using bits and pieces
from the geronimo packaging plugin. Please keep in mind that my answer
refer to the original version.

yes, it is possile to configure <planFile)>, never tested..

yes, it should be possible to point it to a different file. Again
never tested.. The current car-maven-plugin lacks the ability to
package geronimo-plugin.xml file.

I would recommend that the config format used in the original
plugin be used in car-maven-plugin. For example to package an
application user can just say ${j2eeJettyServer} or {j2eeTomcatServer}
and not have to worry about the order of the deployers. The original
plugin allowed this format:
<deploymentConfig>${j2eeTomcatServer}</deploymentConfig>

Aaron, we need your help to remove the unneeded dependencies from
the console-* configurations. All the other applications have the right
dependencies. I have some issues with the current car-maven-plugin.
IIUC, this plugin is used outside the context of the build. The new
car-maven-plugin has a goal car:installconfig (or something similar)
which has no meaning ouside the context of assembly. Do we want users
to add things to the server using car:installConfig? If not this should
be removed and be put in its own assembly plugin.
Thanks
