Description
It would be nice for Maven to have a work directory. For example, ATM, the plugins get expanded in mavenhome/plugins, along the plugin jar files. It isn't very clean.
I believe a better solution would be to have a maven work directory that could be different from where Maven is installed. This could default to the windows temporary directory on windows machines for example.
(note: I'm putting maven in CVS and then everyone on our projects gets it automatically installed by doing CVS update. When I do a CVS update I get lots of "?" because the expanded plugins are not in CVS... In additio there is always the risk that someone will add them to CVS).
Thanks

This is something that is being worked on in conjunction with getting Maven to work with the Plexus avalon container. I haven't done a whole lot on Maven per se because at some point in the near future Maven will run as an Avalon component in Plexus and cleaner containment of plugin components is present in Plexus.
