OK, I think I've found the problem.
When I put configuration inside the execution tags it does not get read
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-hello-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>sayhi</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<myValue>blah</myValue>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
But if I bring the configuration out of there to...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-hello-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<myValue>blah</myValue>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>sayhi</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The config gets read!
Various plugins and their documentation imply that you can write to
either location, depending on the desired scope. Admittedly, I was
looking at mostly codehaus source, so maybe they have some extra utility
allowing for hierarchical config, which I mistook for a standard Maven
feature.
