Echo Maven Plugin

A maven plugin that lets you output text during Maven build

It can be used with a file:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.ekryd.echo-maven-plugin</groupId>
        <artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <inherited>false</inherited>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>welcome</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>echo</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <fromFile>misc/welcome.txt</fromFile>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

Or with a string directly (note that Maven properties can be used):

      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.ekryd.echo-maven-plugin</groupId>
        <artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <inherited>false</inherited>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>end</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>echo</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <configuration>
              <message>${line.separator}       To run the plugin directly:${line.separator}       mvn ${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}:${project.version}:sort${line.separator}</message>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
