Unfortunately mvn help:describe -Dpluginname doesn't work for many plugins as it has not been implemented for a lot of plugins (especially some of the more standard ones like install and compile!!)
I get a null pointer exception when I run it for those two. Being relatively new to the whole Maven project, I find it somewhat difficult to find good resources online from which to start learning. This mailing list has been a huge boon though and the developer community is quite strong, but a good start really would be to go through the maven website with a fine-toothed comb so that people are not googling for hours to find answers. By the way, I own Maven: A Developer's Notebook and I am impressed with your work.

Unfortunately you'll not find this. Ant is about tasks. Maven is about high level build actions. It's the same as comparing language primitives vs higher level libraries. Maven2 is a whole different concept. I suggest that you start by reading the documentation on the maven web site and then read the Maven2 book which will be officially out in a few days. I also have several presentations on http://massol.net/ (left menu). > Ant -projecthelp = mvn ??
