[m2] Plugin inheritance
I think the answer to this question is likely to be no,
but I thought I'd ask anyway.
If I have 2 plugins A and B, is there anyway that Mojos
in plugin B can inherit from the Mojos in plugin A
*including the annotations for the configuration parameters* ?
thanks in advance
Jan

It's much easier than that - the information is recorded in
META-INF/maven/plugin.xml.
The stumbling point so far is whether we want to support that.
I think we need to decide between the current angle of "mojo is a
wrapper around specialised tools" and "mojo is a tool itself".

will commons-attributes also do something similar to this? Just
wondering out loud...

It's possible to post process .class files with BCEL or ASM and add
custom attributes to the classfile elements (fields, methods). AspectJ
does that for one example. At runtime these attributes may be accessed
reflectively by parsing the classfiles.
Maybe it's kind of an overkill, but it could be fun :-) No, I am not
volunteering :-)

no, sorry. The annotations are read from source files, not binaries.
