Updating properties listed in online guide
There are a couple properties that I found useful to use in my own plugin.
I have a plugin that I want to generate meta information for all classes
compiled. I conveniently added postGoal entries for "test:compile" and
"java:compile". The properties I needed to leverage were:
maven.compile.src.set -> the set of Java Source directories
maven.build.dest -> already documented
maven.test.compile.src.set -> the set of Java Test Source directories
maven.test.dest -> the destination where test classes go
As you can see--only one of those properties is documented in the online
guide. It would be beneficial to at *least* have the maven.test.dest
directory spelled out. If there are preferred ways of specifying the
Java source directory and the Java test source directories over what I
dug up, I would be very happy to know what they are (there were none
documented. The maven.build.src is the root of all the source folders,
not just the src/java folder.).

Its a step in the right direction. Perhaps what would be most
beneficial is something that would map the property names to the
plugin--or at least just have a global list of all the properties.

Yep,
we'd need the ability to override the multiproject overview template, but
personally I think it's a great idea.

Dion,
that overview page is a big help in locating plugins and hence down to the
description, properties and goals available etc. What would be a step further
would be to convert the list into a table with 4 columns ...
Name (hyperlink to the plugin docs like now),
Description,
Goals hyperlink (plugins/'name'/goals.html),
Properties hyperlink (plugins/'name'/properties.html).
This would shortcircuit the navigating down to the details that people want.

I suppose so, but there are essentially two places:
a) maven core properties (as per the user guide), or
b) the plugin that provides that functionality.
Would a page like this
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/index.html
help if there were more detail, or are you after fundamentally different
details?

I guess so. You know, it is pretty difficult trying to keep track of
what does what and where to find the correct property.

Documentation:
1) maven.compile.src.set - documented as part of the java plugin @
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/java/properties.html
2) core property documented in the users guide
3) maven.test.compile.src.set - is NOT documented as part of the test
plugin @ http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/test/properties.html
4) maven.test.dest - is documented as part of the test plugin @
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/test/properties.html
Looks like only 3 is missing to me, right?
