Hi, I just tried to get a general understanding of Maven2 Runtime behavior. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It looks like that Maven Plugin is associated with packaging and Maven2 Runtime is invoking the associated Plugins for the packaging defined in pom.xml. Is this correct? And, is the plugin-packaging-association bootstraped from components.xml inside maven-core.jar? Meanwhile, the type is used to resolve the dependency, either module dependency or library dependency. But, I could not find any clear definition on how a type will map to a project with packaging assuming Maven2 Runtime will not resolve the dependency based on packaging since "packaging" is not a valid sub-element of "dependency" element. Will this end up that we can only introduce new packaging at the top-level project and this new packaging can not be used in any non-top-level project as a sub-project since Maven2 Runtime don't know how to resolve this dependency when it appears in the middle of dependency graph? Thanks a lot for the help!
