I was under the impression the latest release had updated to qdox
and it could deal with it (where it contains annotations, not using

What version of the plugin plugin are you using, and what version
of qdox does it drag in?
I was using 2.2 of m-p-p which appears to be using qdox-1.6.1. I
also tried using 2.3-SNAPSHOT (whatever is up there in the m2-
snapshot-repo) and it looked like it was using qdox-1.6.1 as well.
Both behave the same way.
I've not tried using the 2.3 version which is currently being voted
upon.
2.2 looks like its using maven-plugin-tools-java-2.0.5.jar and
2.3/2.3-SNAPSHOT is using maven-plugin-tools-java-2.1.jar. And if I
recall this is the component that handles the descriptor extraction
for Java mojos. But I could be wrong, been many months since I was
digging into plugin descriptor generation fluff.

I think we'll do that over the course of time, but I doubt it's
nearish future. We haven't yet bitten the Java 5 bullet across the
board.
I would see it as:
- 2.1 adds toolchain support, making the executing JVM largely
irrelevant
- 2.2 adds support for Java 5 features in mojo authoring
Just as a wild stab in the dark.
Okay. I hope that 2.2 comes sooner rather than later. Its getting
harder and harder to live with-out Java 5 ;-) And annotations would
really be a nice plus for Mojo developers instead of Javadoc tags, so
that the Mojo could be inspected at run time for meta-data.
Thanks for the info.
Its starting to look like I'm going to need to craft a custom parser
to parse out javadoc tags from *.groovy sources to generate the
plugin descriptor... :-|
