You add a 'default-value=something' to the @parameter annotation,
and something (I'm not sure it's plexus, at least not directly) will
evaluate the string value and attempt to convert it to something
compatible with the type of the parameter field, if no value was
configured externally.
The bit that's not well documented is that you can pluck property
values such as ${project.build.directory} out of the model by writing
them in the default-value string. Apparently this is the proper way
to discover model values and the like, though I've found nothing
authoritative yet that actually says do it this way.
parameters following the same convention and they are null at runtime
(running unit test). Is there some documentation on the
creating/wiring of plugin mojos to the container?
Some. Not enough. When I figure out some of the missing stuff I will
write some more.
