    Description

      Plugins that need to introspect other plugin's configuration have to go via the Xpp3Dom configuration object. It'd be nice if this was easier for plugin authors. Some current use-cases are:

      • Eclipse plugin requires compiler plugin's configuration to write .settings file
      • Tomcat plugin requires war plugin's configuration to locate final war file and exploded state
