Oh yah, that's right, there is a Groovy plugin.  Another one of those paths 
that I would use sparingly.  (Well actually, on the project I saw it used on, I

http://www.ronniealleva.org/index.php/2008/01/23/using-the-groovy-maven-plugin-to-do-magic/
 is an example.

The Maven plugins project has a wealth of tricks in it across the various 
plugins if/when you choose to create a true plugin.
