You should try the Maven Echo plugin:

  com.soebes.maven.plugins
  maven-echo-plugin
  0.1
  
    
      initialize
      
        echo
      
    
  
  
    
      This is the Text which will be printed out.
    
  

Or furthermore take a deeper look into the integration test of the plugin.

which is available via Maven Central. BTW: If you have further requests/improvements just file in an issue.
