Dear Fabrizio

I'm trying to integrate your Maven taglib Plug-in in one of my projects. 
Unfortunately I have not been very successful yet which is most likely at least 
to some degree my fault - but also some to faulty or missing docs. Would you 
mind telling me what I'm doing wrong?

The documentation (http://maven-taglib.sourceforge.net/m2/index.html) claims 
that all you need to do to use the taglib reports is adding the following to 
the pom:

<reporting>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>net.sourceforge.maven-taglib</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-taglib-plugin</artifactId>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

Of course, this piece of configuration misses an opening <plugins> tag, but I 
did notice that and fixed it. Then I trired

mvn taglib:tagreference

as further described in "Usage", but this only leads to an error message about 
a missing plugin:

...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'taglib'.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-taglib-plugin' does not exist 
or no valid version could be found

So I guess there must be more to it. So I searched the web about how to install 
Maven 2 plugins. I did find this 
http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/installing.html, tried it but think this 
is more likely for Maven 1 since there is no "plugins" folder in M2. Then I 
read somewhere about adding a dependency to get this to work, so I added

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.sourceforge.maven-taglib</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-taglib-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
            <type>plugin</type>
        </dependency>

Afterwards maven told me that I needed to download the plugin jar manually - I 
guess the sourceforge repository is not set in my maven config. After some 
searching (there is now download link in the documentation) I could download 
and install the binaries from the sourceforge repo. Now "mvn package" works 
fine again, but when I try one of the new targets ("mvn taglib:tagreference") I 
still get the error message about the missing 
org.apache.maven.plugins:mavne-taglib-plugin as shown above.

I'm running out of ideas here. Therefore I would appreciate your help very much.

Thanks!
