> Key: MPH-30
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-30

>
> In a lot of cases, people want help about Maven commands without really
> knowing exactly what their plugin's artifactId/groupId is. Many people at my
> work are perennially unclear about the distinction between a lifecycle phase
> like "compile" and a plugin goal like "compiler:compile".
> help:describe should allow the user to specify an arbitrary command with
> "cmd", they could then type "mvn help:describe -Dcmd=install" to get
> information about the install lifecycle phase, or "mvn help:describe
> -Dcmd=compiler:compile" to get information about the compiler plugin's
> compile goal.
