Jim,

I'm afraid there's no documentation on the features-maven-plugin
currently -- making a note on my todo list now to do it soon if nobody
beats me to it.

Currently, the plugin has two goals that are more or less useful:
- add-features-to-repo allows you to seed a maven repository with all
the bundles required for a given set of features - it can help you
build your own package/distribution.  For an example, look at the
features/assembly pom.xml
- generate-features-xml generates a features.xml file for a given
maven artifact, by looking into the OSGi imports for the artifacts and
figuring out which bundles to add for satisfying all the requirements

For the near future, we're planning to add:
- a validate goal to validate a features.xml file for consistency (do
all the bundles exist, have all the OSGi imports been met...)
- goals to install/uninstall features using the JMX Features MBean
that's in ServiceMix Kernel.

Regards,

Gert Vanthienen
