Tamas Cservenak opened MINSTALL-177 and commented

Original plugin made hoops and loops, instead to perform what it needed to perform. Partly to blame this was unfinished state of MAT API (it was able to install project only).

Installing project is needed in InstallMojo, but InstallFileMojo was forced to make hoops and loops due this, as it was passed one file (and maybe pomFile), and it was forced to create "fake" project, decorate and fake setup it with all whistle and bells, only to get it via MAT to resolver that would "decompose" it back into set of artifacts needing a deploy. So it went this file-artifact-project-artifact route, that made all the logic fragile and overly complicated.

This PR completely reworks m-install-p making it (almost trivially) simple: it does what it needs to do, without any fuss, and does it in streamlined way: InstallMojo will create a list of artifacts out of project and pass it to repository system for deploy, while InstallFileMojo literally prepares just a deployment request, nothing more. No fuss, no magic, no fake project building etc.
