All I can say is I've added a lot of support for this sort of thing
to maven trunk code, which will be the basis for Maven 2.1
eventually. In the debug output, it has a log like this:
Our build plan is:
1. ...
2. ...
Alternatively, there is a new plugin in the maven sandbox for
querying this information in 2.1, called the maven-lifecycle-plugin.
Using it, you could run:
mvn lifecycle:build-plan
I know, I know, that's not helpful for maven 2.0.x users. I don't
have any good advice for you in 2.0.x, other than what's already been
said:
1. Take a look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/
tags/maven-2.0.7/maven-core/src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/
components.xml and look for "<role-hint>jar</role-hint>" or similar.
( you can just search for that string in the file)
2. To get a complete picture including those plugins from the POM,
you may also need to use help:effective-pom
3. If there isn't a specific lifecycle mapping for the lifecycle
(clean, default, site) for your packaging (from step 1), you may need
to look at the component configuration for:
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor
(you can just search for that class name to find it, and look
at the <lifecycles> configuration).
You might also peruse: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/
introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html
Hope that helps.

Hello Folks,
A quick question: is there a way to get the list of ALL maven plug-
ins and
their versions that are used by maven build life cycle? Maven uses
tons of
standard plug-ins explicitly and inexplicitly. Is there a way to
get the
whole list of it for a given build?
Thanks
Ryan
