Dennis:
Yes, you have got this exactly right. I have a skin packaged in
a jar and a custom plugin that contains the custom logo creation goal.
I create the logo using the plugin at pre-site and reference the skin
in my parent pom's site.xml which refers to the generated logo.
Thank you for confirming that what I have already done is in fact
correct. I was thinking that the mojo should be part of the skin
package because the skin and the logo are both related to the look n
feel of the project site. The more I think about it the more I agree
with you that they should indeed remain seperate. Thanks again for
the input. It's greatly appreciated!
