Description

The Maven plugins defined in the sis-build-helper module currently use Javadoc-style annotations for declaring the Mojo goals and parameters. This was the way to create Mojo prior Java 5. Now, it is possible to use Java 5 annotations instead, which would probably be safer. Documentation for doing so is there:

• Tutorial
• Javadoc

However, this is currently limited by the MNG-5346 issue. Maybe not a major limitation, but nevertheless we may be better to wait for Java 5 annotations in Maven to mature before to make the move. This issue is a reminder for revisiting this task later.
