Ok. So, are you going to modify the plugins so that calling xxx:deploy deploys the project's main artifact to pom.distributionURL?
Also, will the users have to duplicate information about project group, id and version in the POM: <distributionURL>http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/mygroup/jars/myartifact-my version.jar</distributionURL> or will you allow using interpolation of the POM object: <distributionURL>http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/${pom.groupId}/jars/${pom. artifactId}-${pom.currentVersion}.jar</distributionURL> ? I think you're going to say option 1. So the user will have to remember to update the distributionURL whenever he changes the version for example (that's one more potential error - it will happen). Maybe simply defining the URL path (excluding the artifact itself) would be better?
