[INFO] [help:help]
[INFO] The 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin' plugin has 9 goals:
help:active-profiles
Lists the profiles which are currently active for this build.
help:system
Lists the platform details like system properties and environment variables.

Also MPH-30 could help you.
> New goal help:help to provide help on how to use helper plugins in maven
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPH-26
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-26
> Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Eirik Maus
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> It is almost impossible to remember the usage of the helper utility plugins
> in maven. Every single time I have problems with transient dependencies I end
> up searching google for "maven help plugin" and "maven dependency plugin".
> That is not good enough.
> The help plugin should have a goal called help, describing the usage of the
> plugin. This would make help (or, rather, a bootstrap on how to use the help
> system) available under the obvious command "mvn help:help". This goal could
> also hint about the existence of the dependency plugin, since many of the
> difficult problems when using maven are related to complex transitive
> dependencies.
> The command "mvn -help" should also describe the use of the
> maven-help-plugin, but I will create a separate issue in the maven core
> module for that.
