> mvnenc --enc has no help
> ------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-8423
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8423
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-1
> Reporter: James Nord
> Priority: Minor
>
> the options to `mvnenv --enc` are undocumented in the CLI.
>
> h3. steps to reproduce
> * run {{mvnenc}} to work out what you need to do to setup password encrption
> * note you are prompted to run {{mvnenc -h}} to get help as the options are
> not correct
> * inspect the help
> * note that {{--enc}} is listed but sub options are not
> * run `mvnenc --enc -h` to try and get more info
> h3. Expected results
> * you get some more help about the sepcific options to mvn --enc
> h3. Actual results
> * you get the generic help page
> h4. Notes
> {{mvnenc.cmd -enc}} gives you some goals (?!) to run and tells you to run -h.
> but I have to infer what these goals do
> the same also applies for the goals... eg `mvnenc --enc init` will fail when
> run again and then reveal the existance of the `-force` flag which is not
> discoverable by other means
