I don't agree with some of these, since they are not intended to be used 
standalone but as part of a packaging that use several mojos and your proposed 
names make it sound like these are the entire packaging.

I don't agree with this one The kar packaging requires generate-features-xml2 
and this one.  create-kar sounds like this is the only step.

again, this is the final packaging step in the karaf-assembly packaging and 
doesn't make much sense as an independent goal

I don't understand what the original 2 generate-features-* mojos are supposed 
to do.  I have strong doubts that if we want to keep the originals we can 
squeeze both sets of functionality into one mojo.  In any case the 
generate-features-xml2 is part of some packagings and the other 2 aren't yet.

I don't understand how "resolve" relates to the action of this mojo.  Install 
seems pretty clear to me.  And I think it's only appropriate as part of the 
karaf-assembly packaging.

I sure hope mixing non-packaging and packaging goals in one maven plugin 
doesn't lead to too much confusion.
