Document the need to build hadoop-maven-plugins for eclipse and separate project builds
Although the BUILDING.txt mentions the need to to build hadoop-maven-plugins for Eclipse, it's actually needed for *all* builds, even from the top level, otherwise a top-level build will fail with:
[ERROR] Failed to parse plugin descriptor for org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT (/pool1/home/alanbur/bleaklow/bigdata/hadoop/hadoop-maven-plugins/target/classes): No plugin descriptor found at META-INF/maven/plugin.xml -> [Help 1]
Manually building hadoop-maven-plugins fixes the problem, but if I'm reading HADOOP-9279 right it shouldn't be required. What's the correct course of action here, reopen HADOOP-9279 or log a new bug? If it's the former I can't see any way of reopening it in JIRA, presumably because I'm not blessed enough to do so.
