Answer 1

I stopped using maven-antrun-plugin and switched to GMaven instead. I can get the info required with a simple POM hierarchy traversal.

    org.codehaus.gmaven
    groovy-maven-plugin
    2.0
    
        
            echo-build-environment
            validate
            
                execute
            
            
                
                
                
            
        
    

The project.properties.setProperty part stores the calculated property so it may be accessed by child POMs.

Resulting log looks like:
