The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Help
Plugin, version 2.2
This plugin is used to get relative information about a project or the
system. It can be used to get a description of a particular plugin,
including the plugin's mojos with their parameters and component
requirements, the effective POM and effective settings of the current
build, and the profiles applied to the current project being built.

<version>2.2</version>
</plugin>
