Maven makes available a property (name) containing the name of the
current project (Hello World SE). As part of the configuration of the
'exec-maven-plugin' in the POM we're reusing this property as the
default commandline argument (line 41). That's why mvn -Drun gives the
output "Hello Hello World SE". So mvn -Drun -Dname=Popeye will overwrite
the value of 'name' to give "Hello Popeye". I guess we could define our
own property in the POM to use if that would make things less confusing,
and probably help avoid any nasty conflicts.
