Herve Boutemy commented on MPLUGIN-238:
---------------------------------------

this is known and documented http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using-annotations.html

do you have an idea on how to make things more clear?

> When using the java-annotations to specify the mojo metadata, the HelpMojo generating goal fails if {code:java} <skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>true</skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>{code} isn't specified.
> The helpmojo goal needs to execute during generate-sources phase, otherwise the generated java file isn't compiled in the compile phase. However, when using the java-annotations, there isn't any metadata to scan at that point, it is only available after the compile phase.
> So, can the helpmojo goal only generate the helpmojo.java and not scan for any metadata. The descriptor phase already does this anyway, including generating plugin-help.xml.
