Is it possible for all plugins to suport a common goal that causes the plugin
to describe itself, its goals and its properties?

Key: MNG-1009

Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: maven-plugin-api
Reporter: John Allen
Would it be sensical (not to mention possible) to have all plugins suport a
common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its
properties? Java annotations could be employed to enable this to described by
the plugin author (i.e. bean style properties would have to be annotaed as
plugin properties, same for goals) and then this annoted information could be
programmatically accessed without the external resources such as generated docs
or hand written description files. There is the language issue mind you but use
of standard message catalogs should sort that....
Anyway just an idea :)
