I've found the #maven channel on irc.codehaus.org/6667 to be very
helpful in this sort of thing. Jason van Zyl is often seen in the
channel, FWIW. The #maven channel on freenode is not as useful, IMHO.
Also, I am aware there is/was significant expertise in making maven
plugins in the ADF Faces team. I can introduce you if you want.

That would be a great question on #maven
