Hi folks, I just spot the r766947 [1] of the ASF pom which add a pluginManagement tag for all ASF projects. Some questions: - some plugins like modello-maven-plugin or plexus-maven-plugin are more specific for Maven projects than ASF projects. Why not move them in the Maven pom? Why not external ASF plugins like tools-maven-plugin from geronimo project are not included? - some plugins like antrun-plugin are also defined in the super pom [2]. Why defining them twice? The maintenance will be hard: for instance the version of the maven-clean-plugin is different between super pom and asf pom... - some plugins are not included in the super pom, asf pom or maven pom. Brett told me on IRC that ant-plugin is not a "common" plugin. I am fine for ant-plugin but nothing is defined for eclipse/idea plugins which are commons IMHO. So what are common plugins for all asf projects and common plugins for Maven projects?
IMHO I think it is the responsibility of Maven to provide a super pom but each ASF project should define its own pluginManagement list. WDYT?
