+1 (+2 if I could)

a simple addition in the "About xxx plugin" generated file would do the trick.
For example, if you see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/index.html

After the "Goals available:" table, simply add :
"Configuration:
To use this plugin, you will need to add to your pom :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> (is this necessary ?
perhaps not for org.apache.maven.plugins, but for other like
org.codehaus.mojo...)
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
For more information, see "Guide to Conguring Plug-ins" (link to
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html)"

the patch provided inserts text to the Plugin documentation report, not to the "About" page.
