an oveview of all the installed plugins and goals

Hi,

is there a maven command which lists all the installed plugins and/or gorals?

Regards,

In maven 2.1 I would like to have a flag (--info) to display at the end of
the build all informations about the environment versions (OS, Java, Maven
core, plugins ...)

Quoting a previous answer:

"It lists also goals and parameters: 'mvn help:describe -Dplugin=site
-Dfull=true', but this is still for a single (known) plugin only."

Presumably, the plugin that you're using isn't included in the known
plugins that comply with this behaviour. Maybe you could request it as
a new feature from the plugin authors?

You specified the wrong name. The plugin is named "axis2-aar-maven-plugin" 
but you added it in your pom.xml as "maven-axis2-aar-plugin". Fix your 
pom.xml.

It looks like I not fully aware of all the ins and outs.

I will remove all references from my repository, and try again.

thanx,

Gert-Jan

I don't see this in the list of plugins from the Maven project, how
did it get into the org.apache.maven.plugins groupId?

The different names are most likely confusing it -- maven-aar-plugin,
maven-axis2-aar-plugin, and the actual jar filename is
axis2-aar-maven-plugin.

Try providing the full groupId and artifactId as described in the docs:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/describe-mojo.html

OK.
So that is a way of obtaining plugin info.

Now I'm using the axis2-aar maven plugin.
As far as I can tell, it is installed.
==========================================
braas@chocolat:~/.m2/repository$ find . | grep aar
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-aar-plugin
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-aar-plugin/maven-metadata-central.xml
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-axis2-aar-plugin
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-axis2-aar-plugin/1.1.1
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-axis2-aar-plugin/1.1.1/axis2-aar-maven-plugin-1.1.1.jar
./org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-axis2-aar-plugin/maven-metadata-central.xml

==========================================

But a list of goals can not be obtained:

The plgin is installed by hand (copied to the plugin directory)

      <artifactId>maven-axis2-aar-plugin</artifactId>
    </plugin>

What am I missing?

The closest thing I know of is the help plugin.  For example, 'mvn
help:describe -Dplugin=site' will give information about the site
plugin.  Right now it doesn't list the goals, but that would be a good
enhancement request.

"Installed" is somewhat irrelevant since if you invoke a plugin that's
not in your local repository, Maven will retrieve it.

The best documentation for the plugins is online, starting here:

   http://maven.apache.org/plugins/
