The Directory Plugin for Maven is used to discover various project-related paths, such as the execution root directory, the directory for a specific project in the current build session, or the highest project base directory (closest to the filesystem root directory) available in the projects loaded from disk (not resolved from a remote repository). The plugin will then reflect this value to the console, and also inject it into each project’s properties using the value of the property plugin parameter.
