[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2333?page=comments#action_75579 ] Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-2333: ------------------------------------
So this really includes all the outputs of a plugin plus any other behaviour that we might want to know about. Right now now I can only think of outputs and information that already exists in the generated plugin.xml. > Plugins need to offer up all information without executing > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2333 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2333 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Embedding > Affects Versions: 2.0.5 > Reporter: Jason van Zyl > Assigned To: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 2.1 > > > In an IDE environment, you want to know what will be generated by a plugin > without having it execute. For example, if you have a plugin that generates a > source directory you want to know that without having actually execute the > plugin because it can take a long time if you have a lot of plugins. > Another issue will probably have to be created to outline changes to the > plugin api so that external tools can call this method to get all the > information up-front. I couldn't find any related issues. > This should also work when reactor projects are run. > Another example is any plugin that produces resources that need to be added > to the UI. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
