Description

I want to update the plugin archetype (for creating new plugins not to be confused with the archetype plugin) to also include a testing harness unit test example alongside the currently supplied integration test example.

Once completed the documentation can then be updated to reflect the new starting point. The documentation currently under Plugin Developers Centre should also be merged with Cookbook: How To Use Maven Plugin Testing Harness? But lets start with updating the archetype and take it from there.

Please let me know if there you have any problem with me working on this or if there are any special requirements you would like to see addressed.

I am going with the assumption that http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/archetypes is the correct repository to patch against because this repo has not been migrated to git as yet. Please correct me if I am wrong.
