I wrote a file called message.properties
Up near the top of my maven.xml, prior to any <goal> being executed:
<util:properties file="message.properties" trim="true"/>
which contains various helps, including a general help message:
message.help = This is a help message \
that takes place over multiple lines \
etc.
Then I create a
<goal name="help">
<echo message="${message.help}"/>
</goal>
in my maven.xml, this seems to do for me.
It's not at all like ant -projecthelp, you have to maintain it yourself, but
it does give me the functionality I want.
