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.

- 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
* The repository model where plugins can be stored and cataloged
