The plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing software projects. based on the plexus container, the applications can utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components that can easily be assembled and reused.

the component descriptor creator (or cdc for short) is a tool that will create the components.xml file from your java code. it uses javadoc tags to gather the information it needs to create the component descriptor.

this package contains the api documentation of libplexus-maven-plugin-java.
