Unfortunately, not all the plugins have such properties. There are some
bugs to fix it (see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPJAVA-8) but we have not reached a
consensus (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?
listName=dev@maven.apache.org&by=thread&from=905391) where such property
should exists or not (notice that I have already added it to a couple of
plugins before the discussion).

I'm fine with adding the new property...

Hmm, that would makes sense, although I don't think using such tag is so
trivial (I didn't even know such tag, to be honest :-(
