            might come in handy for anyone working from a notebook or other
            mobile platform, to enable easy switching of entire proxy
            configurations by simply specifying the profile id, again either from
            the command line or from the defaults section below.

   |       variables for plugins in the POM.

            this case, you want the user to modify {@code <build><finalName/></build>} rather
            than specifying a value for finalName directly in the plugin configuration section. It is also useful to
            ensure that - for example - a List-typed parameter which expects items of type Artifact doesn't get a List
