the command "mvn -help" should describe the usage of the maven help plugin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3258
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3258
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 2.0.7, 2.0.6, 2.0.5, 2.0.4
Reporter: Eirik Maus
The help system in maven (and any other program as well) is typically what you
use if you can't remember the syntax for a given command. The syntax for the
help plugin is, however no simpler than any other command, and I always find
myself ending up with searching google for info on how to use the help system
to find out how to use, for instance, the dependency plugin.
I have suggested a new goal "mvn help:help" in the help plugin to use for
getting info on how to use the help system. The same info should be printed
when a user types "mvn -help".
