Maven helper Plugin

This project helps to build maven projects.

There is three ways of using this toolbox :

The plugin way : the project offers some plugins (see Plugin overview)
The plugin toolkit : a very small framework to create new plugins (see Plugin toolkit overview)
The test toolkit : usefull classes to make new tests (see Test toolkit overview)

What's new in version 1.2.6

Introduces a new api for mojo dealing with encoding.

The new contract is org.nuiton.plugin.PluginWithEncoding.

To use it, just add an implements for your mojo on this contract and implements it.

When mojo will be init, it will check sanity of encoding and if no encoding was specified, it will use the system one defined by system property file.encoding.

Improve check-auto-container mojo

Add a runOnce property flag to execute once per artifact (increase release process).
