> Make "plugin" field protected so DescribeMojo can be extended
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPH-95
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-95
> Project: Maven Help Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> The standalone Help Mojo has been updated to handle annotations, but the
> generated help mojos added to mojos have not.
> Rather than copy the code to every new Mojo, the generated HelpMojo could be
> simplified by subclassing DescribeMojo and passing in the plugin Id.
> However, the "plugin" field is private. Making it protected (or providing a
> protected setter) would allow subclasses to set the field without needing to
> use reflection.
> A further enhancement might be to support a method whereby the calling plugin
> can provide a link to its plugin.xml or other config item that provides the
> necessary information, thus reducing the code needed in the calling plugin
