I think we should go step further and get rid of plugin.properties file...
in favour of metadata file. It can look like:
BTW: We anyway need plugin metadata file which can be used by IDEs.
Agree 100%.
We also need it for documentation. Its quite common for people to ask 'what property do I set to do....' because there are so many undocumented properties. If there was a metadata file that described plugin properties, it could be used to generate the xdocs.
However it isn't just plugins that need this - normal projects use additional properties to configure things in their maven.xml. So properties should appear as a standard report.
