Hi Colin, The best is to look at existing plugins in Maven CVS. They are in src/plugins-build.
As you noticed a plugin is: - A Maven project itself - A plugin.jelly file which is the core of the plugin - A special packaging as a jar file (see maven.xml for existing plugins) That's all, no other prerequisites. You can also find a tutorial here: http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki?PluginTutorial Hope it helps -Vincent PS: One of the reason why there are so many plugins is because they are easy to write! :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Colin Chalmers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 19 September 2002 21:41 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: plugin development > > Hi all, > > I was just scanning the impressive list of plugin's that maven now has, > well > done all concerned!! > > If I actually look at the plugins they're *just* jelly scripts accessing > other JARS right? > > What are the prerequisites for a plugin?
