hi!
I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-362 for removing =
the maven plugin from xbean.

Please should out if one is still using it (which I doubt).
Afaiu the maven-xbean-plugin exists to create spring XML definitions for =
spring 2. This is stone old and not a supported spring environment for =
more than a decade.

We should imo just remove it. It is btw also named wrongly. Since around =
2008 a convention exists that only Maven own plugins should be named =
maven-*-plugin. Other projects should use project-maven-plugin as naming =
scheme.



LieGrue,

strub
