This sounds really good. It's been on our wishlist for a while, so I'd
be interested to work with you to get this happening.

Is there any chance you'd build the plugin tracking the m2 trunk? That
way you could add in a new artifact handler now, and be an additional
guinea pig for configurable handlers and the full lifecycle <-> type
mapping for which we don't have a test for yet.

What we have for compilers is in plexus-compilers. It is a generic API
which was developed from a similar base as something at Apache, and I am
actually going to fold that back in to Jakarta Commons JCI for the next
release of the compiler plugin. So we could provide a VS.Net CSharp
implementation and a Mono implementation that people could configure
locally. The goal should remain compiler:compile - though we might need
to look at a better way of configuring the compilers as currently it is
quite java specific.

WDYT?

Cheers,
Brett
