--------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1329 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-1329 Summary: Provide informative plugins Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Components: plugin manager Assignee: Reporter: Peter Nabbefeld Created: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 4:05 AM Updated: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 4:05 AM Description: please provide some mechanism to ask a plugin for the parameters it uses, either from the commandline or from an application. This should not only result in a list of parameters, but also in a description of the parameter (and the plugin). On the commandline this could look like this: 1. Describe plugin maven describe plugin result: This plugin downloads and installs artifacts. Its goals are download ... 2. Describe goal maven describe plugin:download result: This goal downloads an artifact. It uses the following parameters: artifactId ... 3. Describe parameter maven describe plugin:download -DparamId=artifactId This parameter ... But of course, this is only a proposal how it could look like. On the other hand, to be able to do this programmatically, would it make easier to integrate maven with tools like IDEs. That's why I think, this is a bug: Maven is not easy to use, so tool integration will be an important matter for use of maven. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
