RE: [Maven-plugins-developer] New Maven Plugins

[Morten K. <mor...@ms...>]

maven-files-plugin:
I don't have any other arguments than: We have a lot of files commited to 
CVS for each of our ejb modules. It can be all from classdiagrams to 
deployment documentation to our production environments etc. We find this 
plugin very useful because we have a lot of people that have a desire to 
read a lot of this files/docs (but don't have access to CVS); now they can 
via the Maven site, together with everything else the Maven site offers.

maven-projectset-plugin:
For those of you that don't know Eclipse projectset, this is really just a 
xml file with info about what modules you want to checkout from CVS 
(including branches etc). In our project, we have 40 ejb modules in CVS and 
our developers simply imports projectset files to get the full Eclipse 
workspace setup. The Maven plugin was created to be able to use this 
projectset file in Maven (we use it from CruiseControl). It should perhaps 
be merged into the Eclipse Maven plugin. BUT: It's important that the goals 
does not depend on Eclipse to be installed. We don't want to force that on a 
build machine.

I'm currently also working on a JMeter plugin. It's far from ready yet, but 
here's a sneak preview:
