Echo Maven Plugin

Aren't you sometimes in the situation to print out something useful during a Maven build? What was the default answer to solve this? Yes use the Maven-AntRun plugin and do the output via Ant-Task. So to solve this problem in a Maven way i wrote this little plugin.

Usage

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.soebes.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.5.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>echo-first-time</id>
