The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Plugin Plugin, version 3.1. This version fixes mostly the support of Java annotations for Maven plugins ( http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using- annotations.html )
The Maven Plugin Plugin is used to create a Maven plugin descriptor for any Mojo's found in the source tree, to include in the JAR. It is also used to generate report files for the Mojos as well as for updating the plugin registry, the artifact metadata and generating a generic help goal. http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> </plugin> Release Notes - Maven 2.x Plugin Tools - Version 3.1 ** Bug * [MPLUGIN-208] - HelpMojo class generated by helpmojo goal uses deprecated annotations * [MPLUGIN-210] - NPE in generated help mojo with M2 when no goal has description * [MPLUGIN-213] - NullPointerException in descriptor goal * [MPLUGIN-214] - generated descriptor for Maven object components is not like previous versions * [MPLUGIN-215] - role-hint and configuration generated with empty values * [MPLUGIN-216] - default dependency resolution set to RUNTIME * [MPLUGIN-217] - HelpMojo (always) contains description for the maven- plugin-plugin * [MPLUGIN-218] - Tag 'since' not recognized in the plugin model ** Task * [MPLUGIN-209] - use maven-plugin-tools' java 5 annotations Have Fun, -The Maven team --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
