---------------------------------------
this is known and documented
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using-annotations.html
do you have an idea on how to make things more clear?
> HelpMojo phases fails when using java-annotations
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPLUGIN-238
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-238
> Project: Maven Plugin Tools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Daniel Godfrey
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: test-maven-plugin.zip
>
>
> When using the java-annotations to specify the mojo metadata, the HelpMojo
> generating goal fails if {code:java}
> <skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>true</skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>{code} isn't
> specified.
> The helpmojo goal needs to execute during generate-sources phase, otherwise
> the generated java file isn't compiled in the compile phase. However, when
> using the java-annotations, there isn't any metadata to scan at that point,
> it is only available after the compile phase.
> So, can the helpmojo goal only generate the helpmojo.java and not scan for
> any metadata. The descriptor phase already does this anyway, including
> generating plugin-help.xml.
