Corridor Software Developer commented on MNG-1009: -------------------------------------------------- m2 plugin:xdoc site:site generates an xdoc which is then rolled into the site. > Is it possible for all plugins to suport a common goal that causes the plugin > to describe itself, its goals and its properties? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1009 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1009 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Components: maven-plugin-api > Reporter: John Allen > > > Would it be sensical (not to mention possible) to have all plugins suport a > common goal that causes the plugin to describe itself, its goals and its > properties? Java annotations could be employed to enable this to described by > the plugin author (i.e. bean style properties would have to be annotaed as > plugin properties, same for goals) and then this annoted information could be > programmatically accessed without the external resources such as generated > docs or hand written description files. There is the language issue mind you > but use of standard message catalogs should sort that.... > Anyway just an idea :) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
