Description

It's often desirable to create a new mojo by extending an existing mojo and changing its behavior. For example, one might imagine a NetBeans plugin packager that extends from JarMojo and adds extra stuff into the jar.

Today, if I extends a mojo from another plugin, the plugin:descriptor goal fails to create a proper META-INF/maven/plugin.xml — it doesn't list any of the injections that need to happen for the base class.
