[forge-dev] mvn-plugin Forge command

[Keith Babo]

As a first step here, would it make sense to have a binary install option which simply treats a jar as a single module?  This seems like a nice feature for plugins which have no external dependencies.  It also provides a nice backward compatibility story for existing plugins which use shading to incorporate all dependencies into one jar.

cheers,
keith
