I wish there was a recommended way of naming plugins

         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1171
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Wish
 Reporter: Brian Bonner
    Priority: Minor


What *is* the preferred article id naming for Maven Plugins?

I've seen it as <pluginname>-maven-plugin   and maven-<pluginname>-plugin
It would help me (and other users) avoid silly mistakes if there was a 
recommended pattern.

I ran into this with the xmlbeans plugin.  The example had it named as 
maven-xmlbeans-plugin.  After looking at other plugins, it looks like this is 
the "standard".

It seems like the name should either go at the beginning or end  (i.e. 
xmlbeans-maven-plugin,  or maven-plugin-xmlbeans).

I'm wondering if there is really a rhyme or reason to this.  It would make it 
easier to write poms if there was some sort of recommended standard.
