Goals

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal Description
plugin:addPluginArtifactMetadata Inject any plugin-specific artifact metadata to the project's artifact, for subsequent installation and deployment. It is used:
  1. to add the latest metadata (which is plugin-specific) for shipping alongside the plugin's artifact
  2. to define plugin mapping in the group

See also: org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.metadata.ArtifactRepositoryMetadata, org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.metadata.GroupRepositoryMetadata
plugin:descriptor

Generate a plugin descriptor.

Note: Since 3.0, for Java plugin annotations support, default phase defined by this goal is after the "compilation" of any scripts. This doesn't override the default binding coded at generate-resources phase in Maven core.

plugin:help Display help information on maven-plugin-plugin.
Call mvn plugin:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name> to display parameter details.
plugin:helpmojo Generates a HelpMojo class. Relies at runtime on one output file from DescriptorGeneratorMojo.
