I'm not convinced the majority of users need to/should read the sources of maven plugins. Maybe debug maven build when thing go wrong (separate issue is filed for that), but why navigate the source only? s Hard to say what other users need, I just know I have wanted this on a number of occasions. For example, some mojo parameter is poorly documented and I want to see how the value is actually being used. Currently you need to go to the Maven node in Services, search for the plugin you are using, pick out the right version, download its sources, and browse to the mojo. @Jesse: It is easier to invoke "mvn help:describe -Dcmd=<goals> -Ddetail" to get the mojo parameter for the plugin instead of downloading the sources. See [1] @Milos: The output of "help:describe" could be parsed and provided somehow (code completion, tooltips, separate view). What do you think?
