Thanks for your help franz, it's nice to have the kind of support you
provides.

In fact, I've adopted the strategy I've seen in the
maven-dependency-plugin :

1) I've included in my plugin a java bean PomArtifact that declares
three String attributes : groupId, artifactId and version. Public
getters and setters are defined for those attributes, and the attributes
javadoc uses the @parameter and @required annotations (note that
defining default values such as ${project.groupId} fot those attributes
doen not seems to work)

2) In my mojo, sourcePom type is now PomArtifact

3) Everything works fine using the following xml in the POM :

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>...</groupId>
        <artifactId>...</artifactId>
        <version>...</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <configuration>
              <sourcePom>
                <artifactId>...</artifactId>
                <groupId>...</groupId>
                <version>...</version>
              </sourcePom>
            <configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

4) In my Mojo execute method, I will now create an Artifact object using
the values retrieved from sourcePom.

section of the POM


Good day to you, Sebastien,

Note: I don't know everything about mojo parameters but i'll show what i
know so far

Here's the break down of a mojo parameter:

/**
 *  @parameter expression="${merge-jar-dependencies.sourcePom}"
default-value="${project.artifact}"
 */
private Aritfact sourcePom;

expression (in your case, merge-jar-dependencies.sourcePom). 
`--> Used to inject a Property value to that parameter (sourcePom).
Properties may come from System / Environment Variables, POM properties,
Commandline Properties, Filter properties, or other predefined
properties (i.e project.artifact). 

default-value (in your case, project.artifact) `--> Injects a property
to your parameter. 

you class's field (in your case, soucePom) `--> This is your paramater.
If the first two discussed here is injected by properties, this one is
injected from the <configuration> element in your pom. (Note: AFAIK, if
you set your experssion as a predefined property such as
project.artifact, the parameter can no longer be configured in your pom)



To answer your question, since you're using a class, you use the
parameter.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>...</groupId>
        <artifactId>...</artifactId>
        <version>...</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <configuration>
              <sourcePom>
                <artifactId>...</artifactId>
                <groupId>...</groupId>
                <version>...</version>
                ...
              </sourcePom>
            <configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

the <sourcePom> represents your sourcePom field in your class.
the elements of <sourcePom> are the fields of the Artifact.

Things I am unsure of:
1. I am not sure if <sourcePom> will work as it is. But if not, you may
want to try <sourcePom
implementation="org.apache.maven.artifact.DefaultArtifact". 
2. I am not sure if "private Aritfact sourcePom" will work as well, you
may want to try DefaultArtifact.
3. Most likely, #1 & #2 will work withouth those "workarounds" i
mentioned, Im just not sure how.
4. I am not sure whether it is the fields of the Artifact that you
access with the elements of <sourcePom> or the setters.

If you find the answers to those, or if somebody out there who knows,
kindly share it with us :-)

Thanks,
Franz
