> The standalone Help Mojo has been updated to handle annotations, but the generated help mojos added to mojos have not.
> Rather than copy the code to every new Mojo, the generated HelpMojo could be simplified by subclassing DescribeMojo and passing in the plugin Id.
> However, the "plugin" field is private. Making it protected (or providing a protected setter) would allow subclasses to set the field without needing to use reflection.
> A further enhancement might be to support a method whereby the calling plugin can provide a link to its plugin.xml or other config item that provides the necessary information, thus reducing the code needed in the calling plugin
