Yes, this is the wisest, most compatible way to go. It can easily be done using ASM to process the annotations and produce the plugin.xml. Works fine. This also allows people who want to create different development patterns for plugins remain compatible. All you require in the end are instructions that are encoded in a plugin.xml. > but -0 for discovery with runtime annotation instead of plugin.xml > -1 This will cause massive compatibility problems. Roughly 30% of the user base has migrated to Maven 3.x which means the vast majority of users will not be able to use plugins that require classpath scanning and processing. Anything that produces a plugin.xml by whatever means can be made to work in Maven 2.x and 3.x. > and yes, I took time to document (end reference JFrog's implementation) but > don't have really time to code it even if the feature would be a great > benefit > IMHO > > thenks for your work on that: I'll review and help > > Regards, > > Hervé > > Le vendredi 27 avril 2012 20:01:34 Olivier Lamy a écrit : >> I would prefer not be core change dependent.
