----------------------------------------------------------------
According to http://maven.apache.org/developers/mojo-api-specification.html the
javadoc-style @parameter had the following behaviour:
"NOTE: If neither default-value nor expression are specified, the parameter
can only be configured from the POM. The use of '$\{' and '}' is required to
delimit actual expressions which may be evaluated"
Also in the Java5 annotation the 'expression' attribute was renamed to
'property' and the need for '$\{' and '}' was dropped:
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-196
So there is some consistency here in that it is possible to define a parameter
that cannot be overridden from the command-line, and an additional attribute is
required ('expression'/'default-value' for the javadoc annotation, 'property'
for the Java5 annotation) to enable the command-line support.

> When writing a plugin using the Maven Java annotations, the @Parameter
