Vincent Siveton commented on MPLUGIN-40: ---------------------------------------- Read the doc [1]. Surefire plugin needs to be built with the plugin-plugin ie something like the following {noformat} Index: pom.xml =================================================================== --- pom.xml (revision 618014) +++ pom.xml (working copy) @@ -173,4 +173,21 @@ </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> + + <build> + <plugins> + <plugin> + <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> + <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId> + <executions> + <execution> + <id>generated-helpmojo</id> + <goals> + <goal>helpmojo</goal> + </goals> + </execution> + </executions> + </plugin> + </plugins> + </build> </project> {noformat} And after you could call mvn surefire:help We need to release plugin-plugin first, all plugins with plugin-plugin secondly.

This should be auto-generated if it doesn't already exist as a goal > in the mojo. The autogenerated help should typically list the goals (and > settable properties) of the plugin, and probably also print out the url to > the plugin's website (if available). This will most likely affect the plugin > archetype as well, I guess. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
