Description
On http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html, the following text is
available:
"To see the most up-to-date list of available plugins, browse the
Maven 2 plugin repository at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/."
However in this folder you have:
1. maven-plugins : apparently contains only M1 plugins
2. plugins : contains base M2 plugins and one codehaus plugin
3. plugin : empty, so can be deleted
4. maven-torque-plugin : only metadata files, so can be deleted
5. maven-xdoclet2-plugin : empty, so can be deleted
To avoid confusion for novice M2 users, I think it's best to:
a. delete the unnecessary folders (3, 4, 5)
b. document in the website that
"http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/plugins"
should be verified for the latest versions of M2 plugins instead of
"http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2".
c. add a remark to state that
"http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/maven-plugins"
is only for M1 and should be ignored for M2.
Most of the comments above related to the repository, not documentation. However, there were some improvements that could be made, new plugins additions and one broken link (jetty). Improvements attached.
