* Extension points that plugins might expose

h3. The plugin manager may have to deal with particular actions when a plugin is

* installation
* activation
* update
* deactivation
* un-installation

When a plugin is installed we may want to check the license and make users agree. We may also want to unpack the given plugin in a particular location.

   | relies on the detection of a property, either matching a particular value for the property,
   | or merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK version prefix, where a
   | value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'.
   | Finally, the list of active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.

convenience, LogFactory also offers a static method getLog() that combines the typical two-step pattern: Log log = LogFactory.getFactory().getInstance(Foo.class); into a single method call: Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class); For example, you might use the following technique to initialize and use a Log instance in an application component: import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; public class MyComponent { protected static Log log = LogFactory.get...

code is a great way to give something back to the open source community. Before
you dig right into the code, there are a few guidelines that we need
contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of
things.

Some of the ideas are documented in the [Maven Wiki][maven-wiki]
which might be interesting to read and for further discussion.
