You do not. As Wayne pointed out, you can reuse code that is shared in a common library, but not the Mojo itself. While it is *technically* possible, you will screw up the Maven build in a very subtile way: Every plugin is loaded once and only once (even in a multi-project build) - may it be declared by the user (with a special version) or by your plugin as dependency (with probably a different version). Depending on the build order (especially in a multi-project) the plugin is loaded in one of the versions above - however, you can never guarantee that those two plugin versions are compatible (especially regarding the plugin configuration). > "A Mojo is much more than just a goal in Maven, it is a component > managed by Plexus that can include references to other Plexus > components." > > From "maven definitive guide", chapter 17.2.4.

And then, yes, you'll need to declare each plugin in your pom. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
