Yes, it could be in groovy, or a groovy library. There is already an example in plexus-component-factories. > Will m2 users be able to change the plexus configuration files? In alpha-1, it must be in plexus.xml inside the maven-core JAR. Once a correction is made to the plexus container, it can be defined in the groovy JAR, and you'd simply need to drop it into maven2/lib (it may even be possible to load it on demand - I'm not entirely sure). > In other words, could it be maintained outside of Maven? Absolutely. There is another aspect to it - parsing the goal and parameter definitions out of the script. Marmalade (XML) and Java (QDOX) both define it inside the source file. We could have a generic external descriptor includer so this would be optional - but it is handy to be able to extract it from the source files.
