Robert Scholte commented on MPLUGIN-247:
----------------------------------------
Maybe [this
link|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Maven+JIRA+issues+overview]
gives you an idea. And to be honest, descriptions can get very long. Is an
annotation the only solution?
> Allow getting mojo/parameter description/since/deprecated from annotations
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPLUGIN-247
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-247
> Project: Maven Plugin Tools
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-plugin-annotations
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Alex Hvostov
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: extra-annotations.diff
>
>
> The attached patch adds annotations {{@Description}}, {{@Since}}, and
> {{@DeprecatedBecause}}, which can be used instead of Javadoc comments for
> describing a Mojo and its parameters.
> My use-case for this feature is writing Maven plugins in Scala. This language
> supports annotations, but a Java parser will obviously not be able to extract
> description/since/deprecated information from Scala source files. (There is
> another {{plugin-tools}} implementation specifically for writing Scala
> plugins, which has its own set of annotations, but it is buggy, incomplete,
> and not under active development.)
