[Dennis Lundberg <de...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Plugin
Plugin, version 2.7

The Maven Plugin Plugin is used to create a Maven plugin descriptor for
any Mojo's found in the source tree, to include in the JAR. It is also
used to generate report files for the Mojos as well as for updating the
plugin registry, the artifact metadata and generating a generic help goal.
