4.0.0: No plugin descriptor found at META-INF/maven/plugin.xml

When upgrading an existing project from 3.0.2 to 4.0.0, I am getting the following build error:

[ERROR] Failed to parse plugin descriptor for org.codehaus.gmavenplus:gmavenplus-plugin:4.0.0 (/home/ilgrosso/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/gmavenplus/gmavenplus-plugin/4.0.0/gmavenplus-plugin-4.0.0.jar): No plugin descriptor found at META-INF/maven/plugin.xml

Hmm. I had some trouble getting the artifacts signed and published (again). The Maven Release Plugin and GPG plugin has been a repeated source of headache for me. I'm looking into this. Thanks for letting me know!

Getting this in all my projects. Definitely broken.
Thanks for looking into this @keeganwitt

4.0.1 released which fixes this.
