    Description

      When creating a custom packaging using the 2.4.1 version of the maven-plugin-plugin, I'm getting the following warning message:

      [INFO] Building foobar-maven-plugin
      [INFO] task-segment: [install]
      [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      [INFO] [plugin:descriptor]
      [INFO] Using 2 extractors.
      [INFO] Applying extractor for language: java
      [INFO] Extractor for language: java found 0 mojo descriptors.
      [INFO] Applying extractor for language: bsh
      [INFO] Extractor for language: bsh found 0 mojo descriptors.
      [WARNING]
      [WARNING]
      [WARNING] *******************************************************
      [WARNING] Deprecation Alert:
      [WARNING] No mojo descriptors were found in this project which has a packaging type of maven-plugin.
      [WARNING] In future versions of the plugin tools, this will fail the build.
      [WARNING] If this project is an archetype, change the packaging type from maven-plugin to maven-archetype.
      [WARNING] ********************************************************

      Indeed, my project contains no Mojos, only a plexus components.xml file. Now if you try to enforce a rule that says that a maven-plugin must contain at least one Mojo (see MPLUGIN-106), that's fine, but which packaging am I supposed to use to create a plugin that defines a new packaging (here, the foobar packaging)
