----------------------------------------

This patch hasn't been tested enough. If somebody has some time to spend working on it...

> As sent to the developer list this is a suggestion of how to create and document plugin properties easier.
> - Create an xml file called plugin-properties.xml
> In the plugin project:
> - Process it to generate the properties.xml xdoc using <report>maven-plugin-plugin</report>
> - Process it to generate the plugin.properties file (goal plugin:generate-properties), maybe in the future there will be support for reading properties directly from it.
> Just one issue, I wasn't able to add a newline character in a jsl file:
>     <jsl:template match="property">
>         <j:set var="name"><x:expr select="@name"/></j:set>
>         <j:set var="default"><x:expr select="@default"/></j:set>
>         ${name}=${default}<!-- Here there should be a newline -->
>     </jsl:template>
> Examples:
> The base file
> http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/aspectj/plugin-properties.xml
> The generated documentation
> http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/aspectj/properties.html
> The DTD
> http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/aspectj/plugin_properties_1_0.dtd
