Seeing properties

[Luke Murphy]

Ok so in the ANT world we could easily the value of properties by echo'ing whenever we want. How do we see them in maven?
Thanks.

Whenever I need to do something in Maven, I type this into Google: Maven xxx plugin
where xxx is the thing I need.

Thus, "maven properties plugin" yielded: http://mojo.codehaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/plugin-info.html

That's for reading properties file. Not what I was looking for. The antrun http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/ pluging does it but only for ant tasks.

Then I must really be misreading the description for the properties:write-project-properties goal! But then English isn't my native language.
