Romain Manni-Bucau commented on MPLUGIN-350:
--------------------------------------------
+1, also need an adhoc attribute on the plugin since no parameter is needed for
several plugin so no location to add an attribute.
> Split @Parameter into @Input and @Output

> Key: MPLUGIN-350
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-350
> Project: Maven Plugin Tools
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> By knowing if parameters are input or output parameters, it is possible to
> improve our builds. It will be possible to create DAGs and chain the
> execution blocks much smarter.
> The Maven Extension created by Gradle heavily relies on this kind of
> information.
> It is probably easier to use new annotations instead of adding a (required)
> status-field to @Parameter
> Looking at the {{plugin.xml}} it looks quite easy to solve this and stay
> backwards compatible: the file looks now like:
> {code:xml}
> <parameters>
> <parameter>
> ...
> </parameter>
> </parameters>
> {code}
> With plexus-magic the following should still work:
> {code:xml}
> <parameters>
> <input>
> ...
> </input>
> <output>
> ...
> </output>
> </parameters>
> {code}
