The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of version 2.5 of
Maven Plugin Tools, including the Maven Plugin Plugin.
These libraries are used to generate plugin descriptors, documentation,
and the implicit help mojo (as in: 'mvn installer:help').
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-plugin-plugin
You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</plugin>
If you're creating a plugin that uses Ant-based mojos, you should also
include the Ant tools library:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-tools-ant</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
