[forge-dev] Who wants to merge the Seam3 Forge Plugins into a Single Project/Repository?

[Ken Finnigan]

Paul

This is a great way to achieve plugin combos.

Especially as it provides a way to create a superset plugin definition that could define plugins for Seam3, JavaEE6, etc.

What would be cool is if there was an option to install all the plugins that are defined
