If the mojo extends directly from the AbstractMojo.. it works.
It fails when it extends from MojoSupport in genesis:plugin-

I am suspecting an error with our geronimo-deployment-plugin.
Invoking any of the goals directly from the throws an NPE.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Invoking the help:describe on the goals throws the same NPE.
Reusing the same goal(mojo) in another plugin works.
I am going to go thro 1252 lines of it's effective pom. Meanwhile if
someone can spot something out of the ordinary, please holler.
Thanx
