I’ve been attending an excellent lab by Sune Simonsen which was about how to create a Javascript twitter client.
The lab utilizes the maven-lab-plugin, which can be used to create step-by-step labs using Maven. During the lab, i wanted to know which step I was at and I figured that there should be a goal for that. To list the available goals for a maven plugin you can use the goal
help:describe like this:
|
1 |
$ maven help:describe -DgroupId=com.jayway.maven.plugins.lab -DartifactId=maven-lab-plugin |
This will give you an output like:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |
