Benjamin Bentmann closed MPLUGIN-146.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.6
Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
Added a {{skipDescriptor}} parameter in
[r940010|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=940010] that
enables the use of {{src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/plugin.xml}} for the
hand authored descriptor.

> This is admittedly an edge case, but we have had it come up before...
> QDox doesn't store annotation information in binaries, which means that mojos
> inheriting from another mojo in a different plugin have no way to express the
> mojo parameters inherited from the parent class. The plugin.xml files are not
> merged in any way. This leaves hand-authoring plugin.xml files as the only
> option for such cases.
> Since we've just changed the behavior of the plugin-plugin in MPLUGIN-106 to
> throw an exception if no mojos are detected (as opposed to simply printing a
> warning), this last-ditch option is no longer available for users.
> We should provide a new parameter in the plugin-plugin called something like
> 'pluginXml' which simply circumvents all mojo detection logic and instead
> uses the supplied file as the plugin descriptor. This is sort of a nuclear
> option, but it allows advanced plugin developers the flexibility to extend
> other plugins, or basically do whatever they need to do. Testing is up to the
> developer when they take this option, of course, to ensure that the defined
> mojos can actually be loaded and used.
