At least Eclipse with m2e will automatically introspect plugins to find out what configuration options they support. With that information I have automatic validation, code completion and context-sensitive documentation for plugin configuration. That's obviously not a killer feature, but still nice to have. As a user of the plugin I'd rather live with a bit more verbose and less coherent POM file than lose this and other features like inheritance or profiles. BR, Jukka Zitting
