Petar Tahchiev commented on MNG-3042:
-------------------------------------

I have the same problem - I want to extend the surefire plugin and every time I run it, I get a null-pointer exception, because the instant variables are null. According to maven-inherit plugin I have to propagate the fields using reflection. Well, propagation in my case does not work, because the fields in the surefire plugin are all private :-(, and I get a:
 
can not access a member of class org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.SurefirePlugin with modifiers "private"

exception. 

Any other suggestions?

> I have an Existing maven-plugin-a and I want to extend its functionality and put it in maven-plugin-b, so what i did is I put the the maven-plugin-a as a dependecy in maven-plugin-b and extended the mojo class from A, the issue on this is that paramter fields from A is not set, when I used plugin-B, I think this disables reusing and extending of mojos
