The upload goal can be used when you need to push your freshly built plugin to a remote RHQ Server (integration tests, acceptance tests or production server).
By default, after the plugin is uploaded, it will trigger a plugin scan on the server. This can be configured with the startScan attribute.
If you want agents to get the plugin update right away, use the updatePluginsOnAllAgents attribute. Remind that this will make your agents' plugin containers restart.
