I think having a monitor is fine, but one of the nice things about the request/response is that any output intended for users can be collected and the output defferred until the operation of the plugin/mojo is complete and request populated. For example in the compiler plugin you could collect all compilation errors and corresponding sources files and they come back in a CompileError object. You don't have to spit any messages out to the user in the plugin itself, that information can be extracted and maven itself can toss the information out. But I still think a monitor is fine, right now the plugins depend on code which totals 7-8k, I'm not too concerned about that and addinga monitor in maven-plugin is not going to cause a great deal of impact. > > Michal > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
