described the dependencies of the plugin.

We are looking at using Mercury for the resolution and retrieval of the plugin dependencies so during development we would translate the POMs into dependency information that Mercury can understand, and in production we would have the pre-digested format that Mercury could utilize to resolve and retrieve dependencies. We need to be careful that we are using Mercury during development and production so that we don’t get in the situation where Maven 2.x is...

Abstract

  We're moving toward integrating mojos as first-class plexus components, while
  at the same time avoiding introducing required plexus dependencies into the
  mojo development model.

  In order to really achieve this, we need mojo configurations (which are
  provided both in terms of static expressions that are just looked up, and

 that currently we have information about a project scattered across the project.xml and the
 various properties files. What needs to be done is to encapsulate all of this in the POM.

 Typically users parameterize the use of plugins, or have custom values like ${user.name}
 for use in elements like the <developerConnection/>. It would be idea if we

         * unintentionally use such a magic expression for an ordinary property. So here we check whether we
