In Java land, jar is a jar, and the "other jars" (ejb, maven-plugin, etc) get the more specific name. Does that make sense in this environment, or is it still too ambiguous?

Also, 'library' seems at risk of clashing with another packaging type at some point. (Actually dll could too if we started producing win32 C apps :)

Should they all be specific about being dotnet?

Hi Roland, Evan

Multiple packaging types have the same dll extension: netplugin, library, visual-studio-addin Each of these packaging types needs to be specified within the pom file because the life-cycle is slightly different for the given packaging type. In the case of the gac types, there are four flavors of gac types, all with the dll extension, each resolved differently. That some people (myself included) use the extension as the packaging type in one
context and not in another causes some confusion.

For consistency, the maven install plugin (dotnet version) would need to use -Dextension=dll when installing, but the muliple package types within the
pom is required.

because when you upload a package to you repo you declare
-Dpackage-type=dll
and in your pom <package>library</package> thats confusing
in the java world you always use the short version, might be better stick
to
it

thank you for the tool
