运行mvn help:describe -Dplugin=tomcat7，build failure

build failure

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:2.2:describe (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Plugin could not be found. If you believe it is correct, check your pluginGroups setting, and run with -U to update the remote configuration -> [Help 1]

解决方法
找到maven 的setting.xml 在处添加以下信息

<pluginGroups>
  <pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>

需要熟悉setting.xml是什么
