"try maven -P jboss
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."

I do agree with the <name>,<group> and <type> combo. However when you want to uniquely 
describe a plugin you need to give the 3 pieces of information. If there are 2 plugins 
say:

maven-cactus-plugin
cactus-cactus-plugin

and you type "maven -P cactus", which one will it pick?

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

I meant to show the full POM (or close). Things like currentVersion, etc. Maven -P 
shows the goals. But I understand, you're saying this is what --info should do.

"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!"

Yep, all my comments are minor compared to your work on the rc3 release. I'm sure they 
will resurface in the future but I agree it's alrady very nice as it is. 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).
