Alex Hvostov created MPLUGIN-247: ------------------------------------ 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.) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
