Echo Maven Plugin

Overview

If you are working with Maven it sometimes happens that you come to the point where you get the feeling to print out some kind of message during the build. But how can you do that? Some people think a second time and came to the Maven-AntRun-Plugin and use some ant task. But why does not exist a simple small plugin which can simply print out some kind of messages.

Exactly for such situations the Echo Maven Plugin is intended.
