I have been working on packaging and building Maven from source on
Gentoo. Without using Maven, just straight javac, etc.  It is looking
like I cannot do this without using pre-generated sources on Maven
Central. I am having issues with ModelloCLI loading plugins.
https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/modello/issues/15

My gut says MetadataPlugins are not the same as Generators. Maybe need
to package more of Modello plugins and/or have them on the classpath. I
am really not clear how Modello loads its plugins via Plexus. Once I
can get the plugin loaded. I should be able to proceed. This is where I
am stuck, Modello loading a plugin to generate Java from mdo files.
I do not need any other formats, just Java.

Even more interesting, seems to be a chicken/egg situation with parts
of Plexus. Which also has mdo files.
https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-containers/tree/plexus-containers-1.x/plexus-container-default/src/main/mdo

Mailing lists for Modello and Plexus seem MIA. It does not seem like
anything else uses this other than Maven. This is not a normal user
issue, thus asking on Maven development list.

If someone here does not know about Modello and Plexus. Not sure where
I can find someone who does... Thanks for any help!
