[jira] Created: (MNG-1009) Is it possible for all plugins to suport a common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its properties?
Is it possible for all plugins to suport a common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its properties?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1009
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1009
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: maven-plugin-api
Reporter: John Allen
Would it be sensical (not to mention possible) to have all plugins suport a common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its properties? Java annotations could be employed to enable this to described by the plugin author (i.e. bean style properties would have to be annotaed as plugin properties, same for goals) and then this annoted information could be programmatically accessed without the external resources such as generated docs or hand written description files. There is the language issue mind you but use of standard message catalogs should sort that....
Anyway just an idea :)

m2 plugin:xdoc site:site generates an xdoc which is then rolled into the site.
