| The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the |
| [Apache Maven Help Plugin, version 3.0.1](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/) |
| |
| 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'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. |
| |
| You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: |
| |
| ```xml |
| <plugin> |
| <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> |
| <artifactId>maven-help-plugin</artifactId> |
| <version>3.0.1</version> |
| </plugin> |
| ``` |
| |
| You can download the appropriate [sources etc. from the download page](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/download.cgi). |
