Agreed - said that later on, too > Why does myfaces need a snapshot plugin? core (the jsf impl) does not need it. A subproject's trunk (trinidad) is having dependency against some (specialized) maven plugins (trinidad-maven). These plugins are deployed to the nexus repo, hence we have that in our (trinidad) pom.xml First it sound a good idea. No, it's not - There is no need for having that setting in myfaces/asf pom. > I'd recommend putting the plugin repo entry near the use of the plugin so it >can be removed easily when the plugin is released.
