Life Cycle and Plugin Listeners

Added by Erez Nahir, last edited by Erez Nahir on Sep 11, 2007

Currently, when maven build is triggered, you can not notify external resources when phase started/ended and same for plugin.

Having a framework to register listeners can solve this issue.

Here is an initial interface I thought can help:

For plugin listener, it would be nice to pass also the plugin's configuration as input. 

public interface MavenPluginListener {
    void onPluginStart();
    void onPluginEnd();
}

For phase listener:

public interface MavenPhaseListener {
    void onPhaseStart();
    void onPhaseEnd(int status);
}

 Registration should be done from pom.xml file, either as part of plugin configuration or in a separate section.
