plugin annotations on plugin members' classes

Hello,

The plugin I'm writing wants some configuration xml like this:

<configuration>
    ...
    <classPath>
        <mainClass>com.whatever.Main</mainClass>
        <cp>this.jar;that.jar</cp>
    </classPath>
    ...
</configuration>

The classPath element is required, and the mainClass element is also
required.
But maven doesn't seem to care about annotations I put on ClassPath.java.
It only looks at annotations on the mojo class.
Is there any way I can make <mainClass> be required?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Dan, thanks for your reply (this one and the many others!). I've been
thinking about filing a jira, and maybe starting on a patch. I think the
first step would be to include some extra data in plugin.xml. It would
probably break things to add additional <parameter> tags, but what if
complex parameters had sub tags? Then whatever code doesn't know about them
could just ignore them.

Step 2 is making maven read those tags and do something with them. Of course
this shouldn't break plugins that don't have those tags.

Step 3 is making the plugin documentation include them in the parameter
tables.

Anything else?

Thanks,
Paul

Not that I know of, you will need to validate it your self.

but you can file a JIRA against MNG for this feature enhancement
