Basically, since the M-A-P is a decently thin wrapper around launching the main
method of another application (AJC in our case), and therefore need to mirror
most/all arguments of that application to the String[] passed into the executing
main, I think we could/should use a standardized way to perform this.

Basically, quite a lot of plugins could/should work the same way;

  1. originate from an application/JAR doing something with source code
  2. figure out which application arguments from that application are valid in a Maven plugin context
  3. create a property/XML/JSON file which identifies the argument types, default values and conditions (such as "not empty")
  4. implement a [trivial] maven plugin which reads the configuration file, delegates all argument parsing to the library, and
  5. invoke the application/JAR through its main
