Hello Laird, the only pity with using properties is that they are not namespaced most of the time (the maven.compiler.* ones being an exception here), "output" is claimed at least by three mojos IIRC. And skipTests is almost a general one but you may not easily specify that you do not want to run surefire but e.g. invoker tests nonetheless :-)
I would have liked conventions like always "prefix with plugin name".
