Consider the following scenario: The web dev team has indicated that they have made a recent change to the index project, and that this project now needs to have a name supplied so that the build can be customized. This is a Maven project from the M3 server. The name should be provided in string format, and the name should be steve.
In this lab, we will build a project that requires parameters. We will ensure it accepts a string parameter. This is important to understand, as it is one method used to inject a build time variable into a project.
