----------------------------------------
Read the doc [1]. Surefire plugin needs to be built with the plugin-plugin ie
something like the following
{noformat}

And after you could call mvn surefire:help
We need to release plugin-plugin first, all plugins with plugin-plugin secondly.

> All plugins should have a goal called "help" providing help on how to use the
> plugin. This should be auto-generated if it doesn't already exist as a goal
> in the mojo. The autogenerated help should typically list the goals (and
> settable properties) of the plugin, and probably also print out the url to
> the plugin's website (if available). This will most likely affect the plugin
> archetype as well, I guess.
