help:describe should accept "cmd" argument
------------------------------------------
Key: MPH-30
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-30
Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Dan Fabulich
In a lot of cases, people want help about Maven commands without really knowing
exactly what their plugin's artifactId/groupId is. Many people at my work are
perennially unclear about the distinction between a lifecycle phase like
"compile" and a plugin goal like "compiler:compile".
help:describe should allow the user to specify an arbitrary command with "cmd",
they could then type "mvn help:describe -Dcmd=install" to get information about
the install lifecycle phase, or "mvn help:describe -Dcmd=compiler:compile" to
get information about the compiler plugin's compile goal.
