Allow mojo to bind to wildcard goal
-----------------------------------
Key: MNG-5130
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5130
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin API
Reporter: Brian Topping
When defining a mojo, metadata generated by the @goal javadoc annotation
associates the mojo with a goal in a 1:1 relationship. For a current project,
it would be very helpful if that could be a 1:n relationship whereby a mojo
could be called for any goal not otherwise defined -- a wildcard goal.
Particular use case is the goal acts as a selector for doing something
important but that would otherwise require an additional -D parameter. This is
important for cli invocation.
Implementation should scan all goals for a plugin before falling back to a
wildcard mojo, if one exists. It would be undefined or illegal to have more
than one wildcard mojo.
I doubt I'll get time to work on this, but I'll submit a patch if I do.
