Description

The existence of plugin configuration needs to pre-initialise plugins and activate the necessary lifecycle elements.

• specifying a plugins element in the POM will load all mojos in the plugin and add them to phases they specify using @phase (one in all in, even if specific goals are configured for the plugin)

• plugin elements in the pom are inherited: for this reason, the super POM must not specify defaults for some plugins as they will always be loaded - defaults for mojos can be specified in the mojo descriptor

• need to be able to override inheritence:
  <plugin>
  <id>test</id>
  <disabled>true</disabled>
  </plugin>
  (possibly likewise for goal)

• depends upon: MNG-153 allow goals to be added to the lifecycle
