         Key: MNG-1091
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1091
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement
  Components: maven-plugin-plugin  
    Versions: 2.0-beta-3    
 Environment: any, jdk 1.4.2_06
 Reporter: Corridor Software Developer
    Priority: Minor


The goal plugin:xdoc creates a table describing the parameters for a plugin. An 
example may be found here: 
http://mojo.codehaus.org/xmlbeans-maven-plugin/xmlbeans-mojo.html

In the example, notice that the nowrap on the type, expression and 
default-value columns causes the descriptions to be crammed into the right side 
of the page.

So rather than having these values in their own columns, position them in rows 
below the parameter as is done in the maven-model documentation for the project 
descriptor. This way the fields don't compete for space across the page: 
http://maven.apache.org/maven2/maven-model/maven.html

What's more, the inclusion of hyperlinked xml at the top of the page describing 
the configuration section of the plugin would benefit the end user without 
manual effort of the plugin developer.
