I would like to get an inventory of plugins used by my POM for the purpose of explicitly setting their version in my POM. This will make builds much more reliable. The help:describe can do this for one plugin at a time, but this is tedious and makes the incorrect assumption I know all of the plugins used.

A command like the following would produce a list of plugins, including the GroupId, ArtifactId, and version used by a specific goal.
mvn help:describe -Dgoal=test

Going a step further, adding a -DupdatePom=true to actually add the plugin information to the POM wound make the process much easier.
