What goals are available for maven nbm plugin

How to find the plugin goals for mvn nbm plugin.

Running this command on nbm plugin should display the available goals. This is not specific to nbm and should work on any maven plugin.

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=nbm -Dmedium=true

Here is the goals available for maven nbm plugin version 3.7
Name: NBM Maven Plugin
Description: Maven plugin for creating NetBeans modules. It defines a custom
  lifecycle called 'nbm'. During packaging, the module JAR is enhanced with
  NetBeans-specific manifest entries and, along with other required files,
  packed into a *.nbm file, ready for distribution. Additionally the plugin
  provides aggregator goals to create an update site or cluster for your module
  projects.
Group Id: org.codehaus.mojo
Artifact Id: nbm-maven-plugin
Version: 3.7
Goal Prefix: nbm

This plugin has 13 goals:

nbm:autoupdate

  Description: Create the NetBeans auto update site definition.

nbm:branding

  Description: Package branding resources for NetBeans platform/IDE based
    application. The format of branding resources is the same as in NetBeans
    Ant-based projects. The src/main/nbm-branding folder of the project is
    assumed to contain the branding content. Within the directory, the
    following folder structure is assumed:
    - 1. pick the IDE/platform module which contents you want to brand. eg.
      org-openide-windows.jar
    - 2. locate the jar within the IDE/platform installation and it's cluster,
      eg. modules/org-openide-windows.jar
    - 3. create the same folder structure in src/main/nbm-branding, make folder
      with the module's jar name as well. eg. create folder by name
      modules/org-openide-windows.jar
    - 4. within that folder place your branding modifications at the same
      location, as if they were withn the jar, eg.
      org/openide/windows/ui/Bundle.properties and place the changed bundle
      keys there.

nbm:build-installers

  Description: (no description available)

nbm:cluster

  Description: Create the NetBeans module clusters from reactor.
    Semi-deprecated; used only for standalone modules and 'suites'.

nbm:cluster-app

  Description: Create the NetBeans module clusters/application for the
    'nbm-application' packaging projects

nbm:help

  Description: Display help information on nbm-maven-plugin.
    Call
      mvn nbm:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name>
    to display parameter details.

nbm:manifest

  Description: Goal for generating NetBeans module system specific manifest
    entries, part of 'nbm' lifecycle/packaging. In order to have the generated
    manifest picked up by the maven-jar-plugin, one shall add the following
    configuration snippet to maven-jar-plugin.

 
<plugin>
    <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>
    <artifactid>maven-jar-plugin</artifactid>
    <version>2.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <usedefaultmanifestfile>true</usedefaultmanifestfile>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

nbm:nbm

  Description: Create the NetBeans module artifact (nbm file), part of 'nbm'
    lifecycle/packaging.

nbm:populate-repository

  Description: A goal for identifying NetBeans modules from the installation
    and populating the local repository with them. Optionally you can also
    deploy to a remote repository.
    If you are looking for an existing remote repository for NetBeans
    artifacts, check out http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/, it contains API
    artifacts for multiple releases.
    http://bits.netbeans.org/netbeans/trunk/maven-snapshot/ may also be used
    for SNAPSHOT artifacts if you wish to test development builds.

    See this HOWTO on how to generate the NetBeans binaries required by this
    goal.

    Compatibility Note: The 3.0+ version puts all unrecognized, non-module, 3rd
    party jars in the org.netbeans.external group and adds them as dependencies
    to respective modules. That can cause backward incompatibility with earlier
    versions which generated incomplete (different) maven metadata.

nbm:run-ide

  Description: Run NetBeans IDE with additional custom module clusters, to be
    used in conjunction with nbm:cluster. Semi-deprecated; used only for
    standalone modules and 'suites'.

nbm:run-platform

  Description: Run a branded application on top of NetBeans Platform. To be
    used with projects with nbm-application packaging only and the project
    needs to be built first.

nbm:standalone-zip

  Description: Create a standalone application out of the composed clusters
    of nbm-application

nbm:webstart-app

  Description: Create webstartable binaries for a 'nbm-application'.
