The field metadata when creating plugins is read from source files, so is not available when the original source is not. The metadata is available in the plugin in META-INF/maven/plugin.xml, but at this point there is no way to incorporate it when building a new plugin. We currently recommend building your plugins using composition instead of inheritence.
