[jira] Commented: (MPH-15) help:describe should accept plugin prefix or prefix:goal

["Andrea Aime (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-15?page=comments#action_70438 ] 
            
Andrea Aime commented on MPH-15:
--------------------------------

Well, apparently the current version of the help plugin allows for that, even if the help plugin site does not seem up to date.
The following works:

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=site -Dfull=true

(althought the output is a bit too verbose i my opinon)

> help:describe should accept plugin prefix or prefix:goal

>             Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Kenney Westerhof
>            Priority: Minor
>
> It's tedious and unnecessary to type the entire groupId and artifactId since plugin:goal also works
> when specified on the commandline.
> Add a new parameter -Dgoal=plugin:goal or -Dprefix=plugin and let m2 resolve the plugin
> in the normal fashion;
> mvn help:describe -Dprefix=help   -> show Mojo's for maven-help-plugin
