The plugin is packaged up in a JAR so you could simply create a dependency so that Maven will download it. You can get the developers working on the project to specify a remote repository that you have set up to house the plugins. Once you have the plugin, which is contained in the JAR, you can move it to the users plugins directory. This is not the most elegant solution as what we want specifically for plugins doesn't work yet. > Essentially I want to define a couple of plugins that are fairly specific to a > set of projects under development.

If everyone is on the same network you can actually use a file:/ type url in the remote repo property (I know that is completely unintuitive but I know people are doing that) or if they are geographically separated you can set up your own http:/ repository for your project specific artifacts which can include plugins. > Or any other suggesitions? -- jvz.
