Description

Run "mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler -Dmojo=compile". You'll get this:

[INFO] Mojo: 'compiler:compile'
===============================================
Goal: 'compile'
Description:
Compiles application sources
===============================================

Try again with "mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler -Dmojo=compile -Dmedium". You'll get the exact same information. Try again with "-Dfull". You'll get a highly verbose description of every parameter, including their type, required, readonly, and description.

-Dmedium should include an "in-between" amount of information. I might suggest that it include all parameters by name and the description, but not type/required/readonly. (Perhaps omit readonly parameters from -Dmedium view?) We might also consider using only the first sentence of the description, just like Javadoc.
