implement plugin inheritance
----------------------------
Key: MNG-436
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-436
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Components: maven-core
Versions: 2.0-alpha-2
Reporter: John Casey
Assigned to: John Casey
Fix For: 2.0-alpha-3
inherit all plugins that DO NOT have <inherit>false</inherit>.
For those INHERITED plugins that did not specify <inherit>true</inherit>, check
the inheritByDefault descriptor attribute to see whether the plugin should be
bound to the lifecycle.
so, the resulting lifecycle should contain:
1. plugins defined in the local pom.xml
2. plugins defined in an ancestor pom, with the <inherit>true</inherit>
specification
3. plugins defined in an ancestor pom, without <inherit/> specified, but with
the inheritByDefault descriptor attribute set to "true".
NOTE: The same inheritance calculation will also take place at the goal level.
NOTE 2: In the MojoDescriptor, the inheritByDefault attribute can be set via
the @inheritByDefault "(true|false)" annotation.
NOTE 3: Currently there is no way to specify the inheritByDefault attribute for
the plugin level, without writing the plugin.xml by hand. This is because a
plugin is a logical construct, and when the descriptor is generated it is
really just an aggregation of all the mojo-level annotations plus some
information from the plugin's POM.
