Overview

The avalon plugin provides support for the generation of classloader metadata associated with a jar file.

The generation of metyada is triggered using the following goal:

artifact:install

The goal generates a file with the same name as the jar artifact + ".meta".

An example from the merlin/kernel/impl project is included below.
