Description:


Address issues raised by Daniel Kehoe on mailing list:


I've found it difficult to find online documentation about maven
project.properties.

There's a reference in the Maven directory layout document
(http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/reference/dirlayout.html):
"This file can be used to override Maven default properties (defined in
${maven.home}/bin/driver.properties )."
I haven't found bin/driver.properties.

Googling for "Maven project properties documentation" gives links to the
directory layout document and an out-of-date document on someone else's
web site 
(http://www.ingrid.org/jajakarta/turbine/jp/turbine/maven/reference/properties.html).

Seems there should be a link from the Maven Reference Documentation page
and in the Maven directory layout document. 

Hoping this suggestion makes it easier for others to get started with
Maven.
