Description

When the ant:attribute-compiler is used in ant, there is no way for maven to
pass a value for the attributepackages property.

It would be nice if it were possible to add a property in the project.properties
of the current project that specifies the attributepackages. E.g.

project.properties:
[...]
org.apache.commons.attributes.packages=my.package
[...]

which is then used in the maven plugin:

[...]
<ant:attribute-compiler inMaven="true" sourcepathref="maven.compile.src.set"
attributepackages="${org.apache.commons.attributes.packages}"
destdir="${maven.build.dir}/commons-attributes"/>
[...]
