How can I display a message in Maven

Question

How can I display a message in Maven?

In ant, we do have \"echo\" to display a message, but in maven, how can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use Björn Ekryd's Echo Maven Plugin, which is published in Maven Central:

    com.github.ekryd.echo-maven-plugin
    echo-maven-plugin
    1.2.0
    
        
            package
            
                echo
            
            
                war has changed

[INFO] --- echo-maven-plugin:1.2.0:echo (default) @ mymodule ---
[INFO] war has changed

Also, this plugin has 95% code coverage, which is pretty cool.
