Neither are. There is no such thing as a "built-in" plugin. What does
happen, is that certain goals are preconfigured, and that discovers
those plugins... so if you call "aspectj:aspectj", it will work
immediately.

But you are going to need to configure it on the projects that use it.

So what you are saying is that you want to be able to inherit the
enablement of aspectj on every project inheriting a certain POM. This
isn't a use case we've considered (again, we want inheritence and
master build to co-exist in m2, which is why active parts of the pom
are not inherited, only configuration). I'll keep it in mind.
