SebbASF commented on MPLUGIN-245:
---------------------------------
The stand-alone Maven Help plugin describe goal does display user properties
correctly.
Rather than maintain two sets of code, why not generate a help plugin that
extends the DescribeMojo?
Just set up the "plugin" field and call the execute() method.
Unfortunately all the DescribeMojo fields are private, but reflection can be
used.
For a better solution, the plugin DescribeMojo field could be made protected
(or add a setter).
The attached sample is generic (just the package would need changing); it
obviously has a dependency on the help plugin.
> @Parameter property names are not written to the plugin-help.xml file

> The generated HelpMojo fails to show user parameter names if the Mojo is
> generated from Java 5 annotations.
> This appears to be because the plugin-help.xml file does not include the
> information. HelpMojo.java is expecting to find an "expression" tag.
