Hi,

I realize that the fix for MPLUGIN-40 (All plugins should by default
have an auto-generated goal 'help') is definitely *not* intuitive for
the end user.

Background:
I created a plugin-plugin goal which generates an Help mojo. This
generated mojo just displays the goals and their
description/parameters for a given plugin project. Since it is a goal
inside the maven-plugin-plugin, we need to release it and *all*
plugins to make available this new feature (it could take a time ;) ).

I proposed another approach: modify the DefaultLifecycleExecutor to
handle this particular goal. So we could call "mvn idea:help" to
display all available idea goals and "mvn idea:toto" will throw an
exception by displaying the help.
Pro: more easy for the end user and works for all plugins
Con: just available in mvn 2.0.9+

WDYT?

Vincent
