restricting maven -g
Maven's coming along fast! :-) The trouble is, now 'maven -g' produces a
somewhat overwhelming amount of options. Is there any way to constrain
the output to only list I expect my co-developers to care about?

Oops, let me re-state that:
message.help = \n\n
=================================\n\
This is a multiline help message \n\
and you have to do the \n\
stuff to get newlines.\n\
==================================\n
You have to include the "\n" prior to the line-extension or it will just
come out without them.

Re: restricting maven -g
Posted by khote <kh...@mminternet.com>.
I wrote a file called message.properties
Up near the top of my maven.xml, prior to any <goal> being executed:
<util:properties file="message.properties" trim="true"/>
which contains various helps, including a general help message:
message.help = This is a help message \
that takes place over multiple lines \
etc.
Then I create a
<goal name="help">
<echo message="${message.help}"/>
</goal>
in my maven.xml, this seems to do for me.
It's not at all like ant -projecthelp, you have to maintain it yourself, but
it does give me the functionality I want.

Sorry for the slow response, I was on vacation! I understand I can get
Maven not provide so much functionality :-) but that's not quite what I
was looking for. When someone checks out my source tree, I want them to
be able to get the equivalent of 'ant -projecthelp' or something:
essentially, I want them to see a list of 'what targets are specifically
of interest for this project?' For example, if it's not a web app then
the war targets wont be useful, but the user might want that plugin
installed for use on other projects.
Hope that makes a bit more sense.

Maven comes with plugins which provide most of the functionality you
need. If there are any plugin which are not needed in your development
environment you can delete them from the plugins list.
Since some plugins are moved out of the core newer version of maven just
contain only those which are commonly needed.

Can you uninstall the plugins you don't want?
