[jira] Created: (MPH-32) "medium" mode should be the default for
help:describe
"medium" mode should be the default for help:describe
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: MPH-32
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-32
Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Dan Fabulich
Right now if you "mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler" you'll see this:
{noformat}
[INFO] Plugin: 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2'
-----------------------------------------------
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-compiler-plugin
Version: 2.0.2
Goal Prefix: compiler
Description:
Maven Plugins
{noformat}
This doesn't include the list of goals in this plugin. Similarly, if you "mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler -Dmojo=compile" you'll see this:
{noformat}
===============================================
Goal: 'compile'
Description:
Compiles application sources
===============================================
{noformat}
This doesn't describe any of the plugin parameters.
The problem here is that the "default" amount of information shown by help:describe is just way too minimal, requiring the user to be clever enough to add -Dmedium or -Dfull to get the information that they'd see for free if they looked at the website.
-Dmedium should be the default mode; if people just want to see the minimal amount of information, we could add a new mode called -Dminimal or -Dshort that would include less information. Overall, IMO the goal should be that running mvn help:describe should, by default, give approximately the same information you'd get by browsing to a plugin's site.
