Expressions that use the ${project..} prefix will query the current
MavenProject object. Currently there doesn't seem to be a published
javadoc site for the maven-project project so you'll have to read the
sources for now.
But it's worth noticing that the MavenProject object closely mimics the
Model object which is documented in [1]. i.e: if you have the expression
${project.build.sourceDirectory} you would get the value "foo" from
<project>
<build>
<sourceDirectory>foo</sourceDirectory>

See the first answer, when referencing ${project} you're querying a
MavenProject object.

${project.artifactMap}
Artifacts in the map are keyed using:
import org.apache.maven.artifact.ArtifactUtils;
ArtifactUtils.versionlessKey( String groupId, String artifactId )
