The functionality provided by Maven consists of a number of plugins that can be registered and configured for each project via the pom.xml.

The most commonly used plugins are registered and configured by default. If we use a different one for our project, or need to adapt the configuration of any existing ones, we can access the Maven plugins page.

For each plugin there is a user guide and documentation on the different parameters that are accepted by the plugin.

The Maven plugin page also provides links to other repositories of available plugins, mainly on codehaus.org and code.google.com.
