Hello,
thanks, but I've already solved it differently. Actually I just wanted to
"override" some read-only properties of a maven plugin in order to being
able to specify them in my pom (i.e. I just wanted to remove the @readonly
option). However, I've found a way to specify the plugin.xml manually:
simply don't set "packaging" to maven-plugin but rather to "jar" and
configure the maven-plugin-plugin on your own. In doing so you're able to
omit the "plugin:descriptor" goal which would generate the plugin
descriptor.
The following configuration works for me:
///
...
<packaging>jar</packaging>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>updateRegistry</goal>
<goal>addPluginArtifactMetadata</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...

regards,
Bernhard Huemer
