Description

For more advanced plugins, it is nice to have nested objects in order to group settings (http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html#Other_Object_Classes)

Currently the metadata for these does not get generated nor included in plugin.xml (even though it is present in the original class).

This in turn leads to IDEs not being able to offer completion, documentation, validation, ... for these attributes, hindering reliability and discoverability, two of Maven's primary strengths.
