Maven help plugin

Not all maven plugins have good documentation. A lot of times I wonder how to run or use a plugin correctly. The maven "help" plugin is a great help here. It shows the goals and usage for a particular plugin. For example, run the command below to find out how to run axis2 aar plugin.

mvn help:describe -DgroupId=org.apache.axis2 -DartifactId=axis2-aar-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.4.1
