maven plugin artifactId #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I understand the point that "maven2-plugin" makes sense in terms of the
groupId and in terms of the project structure, but it really doesn't make
senese for people who use maven. You can specify some plugins without
groupIds.  This may be only for
org.apache.maven.plugins....I cannot recall at this time.  If you can do it
for any
groupId mapped in your settings.xml such as

  <pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>com.google.testability-explorer</pluginGroup>
  </pluginGroups>

then you might have a problem with this approach because then they would
only need to
put the following the pom:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven2-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin> 

and that can be really confusing.  While I think this is always a bad way
to define
plugins without groupIds, I see it all the time.
