Hi Jason,
Of course not...
But we can, and will, hook into tests that people create.

May be i oversight something or didn't found it...is the "pattern"
documented in some place ? Or do you mean the pages about
"plugin-testing.html" (maven-invoker-plugin) from the maven.apache.org
site area (Plugin Development)...?

I think ideally we should try to register the plugin

What about starting in the wiki with a separate "Compatibility Matrix"
(many plugins exist already their on the compatibility notes page) as a
first pragmatic way...and see how it works...
and with that an area for registering has been created as
well...whatever this will mean...

So do i, but i would suggest to start with a wiki page...
and make it known to the dev lists on maven.apache.org and of course on
codehaus as well....but based on the above mentioned i assume that the
success leaves to be desired...
Kind regards
