Brett Porter closed MAVEN-1329:
-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
not in the 1.x series.
> Provide informative plugins
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: MAVEN-1329
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1329
> Project: maven
> Type: Bug
> Components: plugin manager
> Reporter: Peter Nabbefeld
>
>
> 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.
