we have most plugins that are simple with only 1 mono-module build This makes documentation easy in /plugins/maven-*-plugin/: see https://maven.apache.org/components/plugins/ for full list
we have a few components that have a plugin as part of a larger multi-module build, like surefire, jxr, archetype, scm, plugin-tools, enforcer, release, and soon wrapper And from experience, it makes documentation harder because there is always the question of what to write in the plugin pages and what to write in other modules. Not talking of navigation from /plugins/maven-xxx-plugin to /xxx/ maven-xxx-plugin (we have a trick for redirecting...) In caching case, I see that there is only one submodule, that is done for ITs with Surefire: is it necessary? isn't maven-invoker-plugin usable, like for plugins?
