Description

Following the guide to plugin development it can't be good style to have annotations like
@parameter expression="foobar"

Found such 'expressions' in BootstrapPlugin and DirectorySchemaToolMojo.

This is a missuse to generate a default-value. From http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html

"The parameter annotation identifies the variable as a mojo parameter. The default-value parameter of the annotation defines the default value for the variable. This value can include expressions which reference the project, such as "${project.version}" (more can be found in the "Parameter Expressions" document). The expression parameter can be used to allow configuration of the mojo parameter from the command line by referencing a system property that the user sets via the -D option."
