Using Plugin Tools Java Annotations

 You can use Java annotations to generate the plugin descriptor file.

 <<NOTE>> With annotations, your Mojo super class does not have to be in the same project: provided that the superclass also uses annotations, it
 can now come from reactor projects or external dependencies. By default all dependencies are scanned, but this can be reduced with the <<<mojoDependencies>>>
 parameter. BUT as javadoc doclets are still useful for goals and parameters description, <<<@since>>> and <<<@deprecated>>>, the sources are still scanned. So if you use an external
 dependency, you must still provide an artifact with sources (<<<sources>>> classifier) to provide documentation (the tooling will skip error if this artifact
 sources is missing).

* Annotations

  Information for plugin descriptor generation is specified using 4 annotations:

  * 2 class level annotations:

    * <<<@Mojo>>>: This annotation will mark your class as a Mojo,

    * <<<@Execute>>>: Used if your Mojo needs to fork a lifecycle,

    []

  * 1 field or method level annotations:

    * <<<@Parameter>>>: Used to configure your Mojo parameters,

    []

  * 1 field level annotations:

    * <<<@Component>>>: Used to configure injection of Plexus components or Maven context components.

    []

  []

  For more information on these annotations, see the
  {{{../../maven-plugin-tools-annotations/index.html#Supported_Annotations}corresponding documentation}}.

  Notice that Plugin Tools Java Annotations are named after Plugin Tools Javadoc Tags
  with following little differences:

*-------------------------------+---------------+
|| {{{../../maven-plugin-tools-java/index.html}Plugin Tools Javadoc Tags}} || {{{../../maven-plugin-tools-annotations/index.html}Plugin Tools Java Annotation}} ||
*-------------------------------+---------------+
| <<<@goal "goal-name">>>       | <<<@Mojo( name = "goal-name" )>>>
*-------------------------------+---------------+
| <<<@phase "\<phase-name\>">>> | <<<@Mojo( defaultPhase = LifecyclePhase.\<phase\> )>>>
*-------------------------------+---------------+

* POM configuration

  To use these Java annotations, add a dependency on
  <<<maven-plugin-annotations>>> to your pom, preferably with <<<provided>>> scope.
