<div class="entry-content"><p>The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the
<a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/">Apache Maven Help Plugin, version 3.0.1</a></p>
<p>The Maven Help Plugin is used to get relative information about a project or
the system. It can be used to get a description of a particular plugin,
including the plugin&rsquo;s goals with their parameters and component requirements,
the effective POM and effective settings of the current build, and the profiles
applied to the current project being built.</p>
<p>You should specify the version in your project&rsquo;s plugin configuration:</p>
