While we're at it - why not release the AspectJ plugin as well.

+0, not using it. Notes:

The plugin doesn't require Maven 2.0.9 just to get plexus-utils:1.5.6. Maven 2.0.6 is sufficient.

The POM inherits from an outdated Mojo parent, thereby producing a bad mailing list report.

The POM is missing a <description> element.

The site descriptor can be trimmed down, e.g. banners and reports are inherited. In particular, the name attribute from the <project> element should be removed to get the proper plugin name into the page titles.

The site has no index page at all.

The example pages lack a title (their first lines merely give a section title, not a document/page title).

The POM snippets on the site don't include a <version> element for the plugin.

The mojo parameter
- pluginArtifacts in AjcReportMojo
should be marked as @readonly.

The string-typed mojo parameters
- aspectDirectory
- testAspectDirectory
- ajdtBuildDefFile
- outxmlfile
in the various mojos in combination with the construction
 basedir.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + aspectDirectory
will fail when users specify the parameter value as "${basedir}/src/main/aspect". Switching the parameters to java.io.File should be sufficient to get proper absolute paths.

Users would benefit if the mojo parameter
- encoding
would adopt the proposal for source file encoding [0].

The hard-coded site output directory
  return project.getBuild().getDirectory() + "/site/aspectj-report";
makes customization quite challenging and completely prevents localized sites but AjcReportMojo.getDescription() isn't localized anyway...

This ended up with a little more than just cosmetic things, just ignore what doesn't fit the time frame ;-)
