Thanks Brian for the alternative. I really do like how the custom enforcer rules work though, so I think I'm going to follow your lead with the enforcer rules but I'm glad to know that the role hint can be overridden.
The fact that the "implementation" attribute is available out-of-the-box with Maven plugins really should be described in detail here under "Other Object Classes": http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html It's such a great feature and I'm surprised that I hadn't heard about it until now!
