Informational messages could be clearer regarding goal execution
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-4485
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4485
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Errors
    Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-5
            Reporter: Paul Benedict
            Priority: Trivial


As the lifecycle of projects are executed, these type of informational messages 
are emitted:
{{[INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:2.3:clean (default-clean) @ project-name ---}}

Based on my own team, I think there are three things to note:
 * The {{plugin:version::goal}} can easily be confused with the the dependency 
{{artifactId:version:classifier}} format. Seriously. ;-)
 * I don't think the @ symbol is natural to describe the project.
 * The execution name probably could be suppressed unless DEBUG was on.

How about?
{{[INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:2.3 executing goal "clean" for project Project 
Name ---}}
