> Key: MPH-29
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-29
> Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Dan Fabulich
> Assignee: Vincent Siveton
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Right now if you "mvn help:describe" with no further arguments you get an
> error: "You must either specify 'groupId' and 'artifactId', or a valid
> 'plugin' parameter."
> The people who are using help:describe don't necessarily know how
> help:describe works yet; if they did, they might be clever enough to use "mvn
> help:describe -Dplugin=help -Dmojo=describe" to figure out how help:describe
> works.
> This error message should be more like a paragraph long, and should include
> valid working examples. It could be copied from the apt doc for the help
> plugin.
