[ANN] Maven Plugin Plugin 3.0 Released

[Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Plugin
Plugin, version 3.0.
This version add the support of Java annotations for Maven plugins (
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using-annotations.html
)

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.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.0</version>
</plugin>
