OK so here is where I am at. I now have the plugin working. Thanks.
Yes I thought I had built m2 from bootstrap, but apparently not, so I downloaded alpha-2, that did the trick. BTW PluginDescriptorGenerator throws an NPE is a Mojo doesn't have an @goal tag. So now I generate my source code, but it doesn't get compiled. Is there a 'special' place to generate Java source into so it will get compiled? Or do I need to do something else ? I would prefer it if the plugin was able o cause the generated code to get compiled rather than the using project having to add something to its POM, but I'll do whatever works for now. To your previous question, I think having to explcitly nominate: <goals><goal><id>blah</id></goal></goals> in the using project is too much, the plugin should be able to fully establish itself without the using project having to know what goal to set up. Configuration of a plugin is a different matter IMO, but one should be able to use a plugin without any configuraton as a starting point.
