                 Key: MNG-2538
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2538
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation:  General
            Reporter: Davy Toch
            Priority: Minor


On http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html, the following text is
available:

  "To see the most up-to-date list of available plugins, browse the
  Maven 2 plugin repository at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/.";

However in this folder you have:
1. maven-plugins : apparently contains only M1 plugins
2. plugins : contains base M2 plugins and one codehaus plugin
3. plugin : empty, so can be deleted
4. maven-torque-plugin : only metadata files, so can be deleted
5. maven-xdoclet2-plugin : empty, so can be deleted

To avoid confusion for novice M2 users, I think it's best to:

a. delete the unnecessary folders (3, 4, 5)

b. document in the website that 

  "http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/plugins";

should be verified for the latest versions of M2 plugins instead of

  "http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2";.

c. add a remark to state that

  "http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/maven-plugins";

is only for M1 and should be ignored for M2.
