Getting Started
---------------

+ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
+ If you're planning to implement a new feature, it makes sense to discuss your changes
  on the [dev list](https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html) first.
  This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't

*** DefaultLifecycleExecutor

  When binding goals to the project's configured lifecycle, each mojo
  descriptor should declare whether it requires online/offline status.
  This value should be a java.lang.Boolean, so it can implement 3VL
  (three value logic: yes, no, don't-care). The requiresOnline
  field in the mojo descriptor has the following semantics:

  [true] Online status is required for this mojo to function
         correctly.

 could encapsulate everything we need about the project in the POM including
 plugin parameters and anything else.

 We once had a document that Vincent and I agreed upon and I was about to
 implement it and then I disappeared for 8 months so it never came to pass.

 So I guess it's important to figure out what people are using properties
 files for and see if we can't incorporate it all into the POM. Or if we do

// The plugin manager should load up a directory structure of plugins.
// - a plugin per directory where the plugin is present with its deps
// - a plugin that has its dependencies packaged up with it
// - implement filters and create a test where a plugin fails if the right classes are not filtered
// - plugins with a dependency the same as the core but different versions, make it fail then fix it
