Extending a plugin and parameter inheritance

[Alexis Midon <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm developping a custom plugin, its main features already are already
implemented by the antrun plugin, my only wish is to add an aggregator like
behaviour.
To do so my pojo extends the AntRunMojo, my mojo does nothing except adding
the @aggregator annotation.

Unfortunately when I package the jar, the generated plugin descriptor has no
parameters. So at runtime a NullPointerException occurs complaining that
AntRunMojo attributes are not set!

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Is there a neat way to extend an existing plugin?

Thanks for your help,

Alexis

This is a known issue. You cannot extend a class for which you do not  
have the source too, as the annotations are read from the source, not  
the binary.
