Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MAVEN-1329
    Summary: Provide informative plugins
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven
 Components: 
             plugin manager

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Peter Nabbefeld

    Created: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 4:05 AM

Description:
please provide some mechanism to ask a plugin for the parameters it uses, either from the commandline or from an application. This should not only result in a list of parameters, but also in a description of the parameter (and the plugin).

On the commandline this could look like this:
1. Describe plugin
maven describe plugin
result:
This plugin downloads and installs artifacts. Its goals are
download
...

2. Describe goal
maven describe plugin:download
result:
This goal downloads an artifact. It uses the following parameters:
artifactId
...

3. Describe parameter
maven describe plugin:download -DparamId=artifactId
This parameter ...

But of course, this is only a proposal how it could look like. On the other hand, to be able to do this programmatically, would it make easier to integrate maven with tools like IDEs. That's why I think, this is a bug: Maven is not easy to use, so tool integration will be an important matter for use of maven.
