Brian, I can't remember how well I documented it, but take a look in components/trunk/maven-build-context. I'm already using that stuff in the new lifecycle components, to store reports as they get executed...for use in the site plugin.
It's far from an ideal solution, though. I'd much prefer to see something like this baked into plexus, with context-import and context-export component-lifecycle phases added, to make context another injected/extracted part of the component instead of using the pull APIs that it uses now. At this point, I'm hesitant to tell anyone to use the build context stuff in plugins until we can settle that question. -john On 5/14/07, Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
