Robert Scholte created MPLUGIN-350:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Split @Parameter into @Input and @Output
Key: MPLUGIN-350
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-350
Project: Maven Plugin Tools
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Robert Scholte
By knowing if parameters are input or output parameters, it is possible to
improve our builds. It will be possible to create DAGs and chain the execution
blocks much smarter.
The Maven Extension created by Gradle heavily relies on this kind of
information.
It is probably easier to use new annotations instead of adding a (required)
status-field to @Parameter
Looking at the {{plugin.xml}} it looks quite easy to solve this and stay
backwards compatible: the file looks now like:
{code:xml}
<parameters>
<parameter>
...
</parameter>
</parameters>
{code}
With plexus-magic the following should still work:
{code:xml}
<parameters>
<input>
...
</input>
<output>
...
</output>
</parameters>
{code}
