Maven Plugins Wiki: Editing HomePage

Welcome to MavenPlugin''''s' Wiki HomePage!

To learn how to edit the pages, please read UseMod:TextFormattingRules. Then, you can come back here and practice on the SandBox page!

<b>Note:</b> There is a LogoProposals page that gathers all project logo proposals and ideas !

Maven Plugins currently hosted under this project are:
* HelpPlugin - displays help about available MavenGoal''''s and MavenPlugins 
* RpmPlugin - a plugin that generates RPM distributions from Maven
* WikiPlugin - the plugin that was used to generate this page ;-)

But this Wiki is used for discussion of all things related to JakartaMaven. With an emphasis on MavenPlugins though, since that is the preferred way of adding to Mavens functionality.

I guess you could say that what we are trying to do here is to encourage Wiki:DevelopingIdeasUsingCommunityDialogue in the JakartaMaven community!

Good starting points on this Wiki:
* RecentVisitors - If you are a Maven user or developer then please stop by our guest book at the RecentVisitors page and add yourself to the page!
* RecentChanges - always a good startingpoint if you are curious whats going on in this wiki Right Now
* WantedPlugins, PluginsSandbox, MavenPlugins, MavenCorePlugins - these pages are the central hubs for different maturity levels of plugins. See the description below.

----

=== WantedPlugins ===

The page WantedPlugins is the place to discuss ideas for Maven Plugins that people would like to see at some point in the future. Join the discussion and maybe offer a helping hand if you happen to have the same itch as someone else :)

=== PluginsSandbox ===

The PluginsSandbox is the place where a Wanted Plugin goes when it materialize into something more than just musings and wishes and development of some code starts. At this point in it's life a plugin should at least have some code snippets available somewhere on the net. The plugin may lack a lot of features and it might even be broken - but at least there is some code to pick up for others wanting to take the plugin for a spin.

=== MavenPlugins ===

MavenPlugins are mature plugins that have grown out of the sandbox. They should always come with documentation that describe:
* the MavenGoals they contain 
* the MavenProperties they support, including what the default values are 
* a description of requirements for things that can not be handled by the MavenDependency mechanism like executables in the path, a webserver with access to cgi execution of Perl scripts, or even external hardware e.g. for the much wanted CoffeePlugin :-)

: Should there be other requirements? Are these requirements always reasonable?

=== MavenCorePlugins ===

MavenCorePlugins are plugins developped at Jakarta that ship with JakartaMaven. Some of those plugins are installed with JakartaMaven, so that you can get a set of functionalities right out from the box.
They usually are quite mature, and thoroughly tested. The functionalities provided out of the box include:
* Generation of the web site (ProjectInfos, JavaDocs, ChangeLog, metric results, etc...)
* Creation of jars and distributions (source and binaries)
* Creation of WebApplications
* UnitTesting
