Description

Since MPLUGIN-189, descriptor has a default phase of process-classes. Since MNG-5346, that's also the phase of the default execution in the default lifecycle binding. However, helpmojo still has a default phase of generate-sources, which needs to be overridden when using annotations.

That is, I need to specify:

                    <execution>
                        <id>help-goal</id>
                        <phase>process-classes</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>helpmojo</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>

Changing the default phase would only save one of those lines, but it would make things more consistent between the two goals.
