Michael Osipov updated MPH-26:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.1)
> New goal help:help to provide help on how to use helper plugins in maven
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPH-26
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-26
> Project: Maven Help Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Eirik Maus
>
> 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.
