Actually, pointing at a different local repo for the purposes of a build is trivial. However, in the case of testing a plugin, you have to install the plugin somewhere, then run a build that uses that plugin...this is not the case with anything other than Maven components, which makes it an

This should be solved by the stage/unstage mojos in the plugin-test plugin. That's its only current purpose. It will stage a new plugin artifact into the local repository, backing up what was there before, then clear the pluginManager's cache of that plugin, in case it's been resolved already.

it doesn't backup the whole local repository, only the files that will be affected by a plugin install. It should be relatively stable in terms of the backup/restore data transfer size...varying only by the number of repositories that were consulted for that artifact (because there is a set of

Hi John, It seems that the maven-invoker-plugin does actually the same thing as the maven-it-plugin (still in the sandbox), except you added some prebuild and verification steps. Maybe we can merge them somehow, or delete the maven-it-plugin (which I actually wrote in the pre-embedder era

cool. Can we get this written up in the wiki/docs like Jesse's stuff was? How about starting the plugin developers centre on the website? :) - Brett On 11/08/2006 8:06 AM, John Casey wrote: Hi, I wanted to let people know about something I've been working on for the assembly plugin. As
