------------------------------------
Summary: Allow getting mojo/parameter description/since/deprecated
from annotations
Key: MPLUGIN-247
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-247
Project: Maven 2.x 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.)
