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.

such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to

 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
