This is new... It looks really great. Thanks for making this happen.

The syntax looks a bit arcane and error-prone. Could you make it more
verbose and friendlier to those unfamiliar with Maven?

E.g. using '/' to say "remove" is not intuitive for me. '-' would've
been more obvious.

What do colon (:) and at (@) signs mean? What is "parent" or "mod"? What
are "profiles" in Maven options? None of this is explained, so it's
difficult to start using this if someone has no experience with Maven.

Dominik
