- we also seem to have artifact information tangled inside the plugin model
- we have to deal with scripting implementations (groovy, beanshell, ruby)
- we need to deal with a shared context for plugins, like the guarded mojos
- we need to deal with plugins as core application logic which can also interact with plugins

* Along with this comes the testing strategies that make this work
