In the Java world, everything is in Maven Central. But sadly we were not fast enough to get there with NPanday before Nuget came along. Now, the whole .NET OSS world is on Nuget. But a nuget package does not canonically map to Maven/NPanday artifacts, so we can't just go use the {{{http://nuget.org}Nuget Gallery}} to resolve references. This is for various reasons. One is, that Nuget packages can contain multiple libraries for multiple target frameworks. While we can handle multiple libraries with multiple artifacts, the multiple frameworks are not as easily handled, sus not supported natively by NPanday. This is why we created this plugin. It will let you import Nuget projects, and deploy it's libraries to your own Maven repositories exactly how you need them. It defines the packaging type <<>> and the corresponding lifecycle; have a look at the {{{./usage.html}usage documentation}} to see how to wire it up.
