I think this is what users are more likely to type - and in new plugins we should
start calling them things like this. We already have maven- from the group and -plugin
from the type, so no need to add it to the artifact ID.

maven -P does that (shows pom.description). --info is more diagnostics for bug reports.

description is shown on index.xml by default so should be a bit more verbose.
shortDescription is a better alternative, but I didn't want to change too much what
worked for now. The current shortDescs are not very helpful, plus that'd mean having
to load all the project.xml files to show the output (or creating an additional cache
field).
I was going to tweak up all the default goal descriptions (and add default goals where
appropriate - I think all plugins should have one) to help this for 1.0. If you wanted
to switch to shortDescription, feel free - now that this works reasonably well I'll
move on to more important issues. Thanks!

Description:
I think it would be nice if we could have a CLI command to show the version of all
plugins available in the current Maven install. Getting the version of a single plugin
would also be nice I think (but that could be possibly implemented as a plugin:version
goal in the plugin plugin).
