+1 under current circumstances.
Bearing in mind the following:
a) we agreed to eliminate expression over time to an explicit
"property" (or some other name) that would just be
property="jar.forcedCreate" - this doesn't actually change anything
b) I'd actually like to be able to eliminate it altogether and just
use the field name, using plugin prefix or FQN
(org.apache.maven.jar:maven-jar-plugin:forcedCreate - more for
storage rather than typing!) to disambiguate
A possible counter example under this would be things like
maven.test.skip where:
a) that's a lot of muscle memory to eliminate :)
b) it is actually used in two plugins for one use (I'd rather we
eliminate that over time and figure out how to properly share stuff)
Another gotcha:
mvn archetype:create -Darchetype.artifactId=foo -
Darchetype.archetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-mojo
(archetype overload!)
We might find that it tends to happen a bit.
Cheers,
Brett

Hi,
While working on MJAR-7, John and I discussed a possible standard
for plugin parameters naming conventions. Which basically boil down
to:
field/property = noun|verbNoun
expression = prefix.noun|verbNoun
So for MJAR-7 we have
field = forceCreation
expression = jar.forceCreation
So we are using camel case to avoid any potential interpolation
problems, the noun|verbNoun form to use used within the plugin
configuration, and the prefix.noun|verbNoun on the command line to
prevent name collisions with other plugins.
So that would be:
<plugin>
<artifact-id>maven-jar-plugin</artifact-id>
<configuration>
<forceCreation>false</forceCreation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And on the command line it would be
mvn -Djar.forceCreation=false
I've seen all sorts of format for parameters as with everything the
format is arbitrary but it would be good to have a standard
guideline to follow.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
