Hi,
I noticed that the 'aggregator' parameter for a MOJO is slated for
deprecation in a future release of Maven.

Seems presumptive on the part of the author. It has both its
usefulness and its problems, and it being superceded is likely to be
part of a greater revision of the lifecycle rather than a one-off
deprecation.
What should be used instead, to fulfill the following use-case:
- a multi-module project, which would like to assert something about
the entire project at the very end of the build.
A concrete example is mentioned on our Clover Forums at http://forums.atlassian.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=257294857
.
The user would like to only run clover2:check on the entire project,
not on each sub-module.
@aggregator will work for your situation
The only other solution available today is to run the plugin from a
separate module that depends on all the others (this is typically how
dependency-based aggregation is really done in Maven).
Cheers,
Brett
