[jira] [Closed] (MPLUGIN-247) Allow getting mojo/parameter description/since/deprecated from annotations

["Robert Scholte (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Robert Scholte closed MPLUGIN-247.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Introducing annotations where one would normally write javadoc doesn't make sense to me.
So I'm closing this as won't fix, it might be superseded if someone writes a javadoc parser for Scala (like QDox is being used for parsing the Java sourcefiles)

> The attached patch adds annotations {{@Description}}, {{@Since}}, and {{@DeprecatedBecause}}, which can be used instead of Javadoc comments for describing a Mojo and its parameters.
> My use-case for this feature is writing Maven plugins in Scala. This language supports annotations, but a Java parser will obviously not be able to extract description/since/deprecated information from Scala source files. (There is another {{plugin-tools}} implementation specifically for writing Scala plugins, which has its own set of annotations, but it is buggy, incomplete, and not under active development.)
