I don't know about that I just think it's a matter possibly of
differentiating between plugins that were designed to act on a single
project versus those that act on a collection of the outputs from the
execution of a plugin on many projects.
As far as reporting goes we could add something to each of the report
plugins to deal with aggregation in a standard way. So you might run the
${report} goal using the multiproject plugin and then say look in
${report} plugin for the '${report}-aggregate' goal. Maybe make that
part of the of the jelly reporting api. Possibly have a property like
'supports.multiproject' or 'support.aggregation' to indicate that. Just
pushing out some ideas. Maybe the aggregation stuff could be placed in a
separate jelly file and included so it can be packaged along with the
plugin itself.

You're making the first attempt so what do you think would be easier for
the user and for maintenance down the road?

For this particular case for reporting I don't think we need a special
kind or type of plugin but again you're doing this first so I might
think differently if I did.
