Wasn't it already deprecated in a previous release of 2.0.x anyway?

Sounds good to me. If we remove it from the default lifecycle mapping, people could always add it back in...at least then they'd definitely know if they need it. :-)

Having said that, I'd be *very* surprised if anyone is actually using the plugin registry...

                Key: MNG-4169
                URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4169
            Project: Maven 2
         Issue Type: Task
         Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
           Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
           Priority: Minor


The plugin registry will be removed from 3.x (plugin versions should be locked down in the POM for machine-independent builds). A user visible consequence of this is that the goal {{maven-plugin- plugin:updatePluginRegistry}} will no longer be called automatically for projects with packaging {{maven-plugin}}.

I would like to see how others think about properly phasing out the plugin registry. For instance, how soon should be remove the corresponding goal from the maven-plugin-plugin? Possibly as a prerequiste (I haven't checked what Maven does in case a lifecycle- induced goal is not found), how soon should we remove the lifecycle mapping from 2.x (if at all)?. A concrete idea could be to take the opportunity of the pending minor update Maven 2.2 and remove the lifecycle mapping right now.
What do you think?
