create is of type PlexusConfiguration and is the type we use with the ComponentConfigurator to initialize fields in a Plexus component. Typically this is done within Plexus with the configuration supplied with component configuration, but in Maven we take configuration values from the POM. So we have to use the ComponentConfigurator outside of Plexus in order to configure the Maven Mojo which is just a Plexus component. We can use the information from the MojoDescriptor along with the merged configuration...

This may not occur in the first versions of the plugin API but a resource needs to simply become the mapping mechanism by which parameters are taken from the REST side of the application and mapped into a method call within a given Plexus component. Whether that be the core Nexus application or a component provided by a plugin.
