Access afterLinks directly from the V4 descriptor in BuildPlanExecutor rather than duplicating the data in the V3 compat MojoDescriptor. @after is V4-only, so it doesn't belong in the compat API. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds an end-to-end IT that installs a test plugin with a handcrafted V2 plugin descriptor containing <afterLinks>, then builds a consumer project with the concurrent builder to verify the full pipeline: V2 descriptor parsing → afterLinks loaded → applyAfterLinks runs → mojo executes without errors.

The V2 plugin descriptor format (PLUGIN/2.0.0 namespace) does not have a <configuration> element in MojoDescriptor. Use <defaultValue> inside the <parameter> element instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A V2 plugin descriptor (PLUGIN/2.0.0 namespace) flags the mojo as V4 API, which imports the Maven 4 API realm at runtime. The mojo must implement org.apache.maven.api.plugin.Mojo (V4) rather than extend AbstractMojo (V3), otherwise AbstractMojo is not on the classpath.

maven-plugin-plugin normally generates a @nAmed factory subclass for each V4 mojo so the DI injector can resolve it by roleHint. Since we skip maven-plugin-plugin (handcrafted V2 descriptor), we must provide this factory manually. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The relative File("target/touch.txt") resolves against the JVM's
working directory, which may differ from the project base directory
when running under Mimir daemon. Use the injected Project to get the
correct base directory.

The DiIndexProcessor annotation processor declares @SupportedSourceVersion(RELEASE_17) and gets skipped by javac on Java 25, leaving the META-INF/maven/org.apache.maven.api.di.Inject file ungenerated. Provide it manually alongside the handcrafted plugin.xml descriptor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The TouchMojo should carry the actual @after(phase = "sources") annotation to demonstrate the real usage pattern. The handcrafted V2 descriptor mirrors the annotation until maven-plugin-tools learns to scan @after and generate afterLinks automatically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Code Review
The core architecture for wiring @After annotation ordering constraints into the concurrent build plan is sound and follows the existing Lifecycle.Link processing patterns well. The decision to access afterLinks directly from the V4 descriptor rather than bridging through the V3 compat layer is correct. However, there is a compilation error in the IT plugin that needs fixing.
1. Compilation error in IT plugin (high)
File: its/core-it-suite/src/test/resources/mng-12534-after-annotation/plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/its/mng12534/TouchMojo.java
@After(phase = "sources") is missing the required type attribute. After.type() has no default value (Type type();), so javac will reject this with error: annotation @After is missing a default value for the element 'type'. Fix: either add type = After.Type.PROJECT here, or add default Type.PROJECT to the annotation definition if that's the desired UX.
2. Missing scope TODO in DEPENDENCIES branch (medium)
File: impl/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/lifecycle/internal/concurrent/BuildPlanExecutor.java (lines 685-692)
The DEPENDENCIES branch of applyAfterLinks ignores afterLink.getScope() without comment. The existing lifecycle link processing at line 971 has an explicit // TODO: String scope = ... comment acknowledging this gap. Adding a matching TODO would maintain consistency.
3. PR description claims non-existent tests (medium)
The test plan in the PR description checks off MojoDescriptorTest and PluginDescriptorBuilderTest as completed, but neither file was modified in this changeset. The description should be updated to reflect the actual test coverage (BuildPlanCreatorTest + the IT).
4. Simulation-style unit test (low)
File: impl/maven-core/src/test/java/org/apache/maven/lifecycle/internal/concurrent/BuildPlanCreatorTest.java (lines 134-160)
The new tests manually create BuildStep edges rather than invoking the actual applyAfterLinks method. Since the method is private in a different class, this is a reasonable compromise — the IT covers the end-to-end path.
