Undocumented properties (was: Re: Keeping your test source code ...)

Sorry, I made it sound like I was poking holes in the project in that 
last thread, while in reality, I really appreciate Maven as a tool and 
use it regularly.

I want to clarify that I understand that there are project.xml elements 
that can be set ( unitTestSourceDirectory, 
integrationUnitTestSourceDirectory, ...). And, these elements as well as 
all the plug properties are well documented. I didn't want to make it 
seem that there was a "lack of documentation" for Maven, there certainly 
is alot of documentation going around.

My primary question is if there are undocumented properties that can be 
set in project.properties or used in maven.xml that are not actually 
defined by the plugins, but actually by the base architecture of Maven 
itself? Like for instance properties used by werkz plugin or maven 
plugin base?

This actually flows back to an earlier discussion about documentation 
and the werkz plugin.

Maybe someone could integrate this into the Maven user's guide.

Fear not, I have a very, very thick skin :-)

The documentation is still lacking and that is for the most part my
doing. I do much of it in bursts when I get the time.

Most of the base properties are in driver/default.properties. Some of
those actually belong in their respective plugins which I have done in
the refactoring I have which will be shoved into CVS soon.

I post some quicky docs to the list regarding Werkz and Ben challenged
the user to make an xdoc of it. It's in the archive if you want to
document it.
