I'll explain a bit more...
you see how the pom.xml is laid out, right?
<project>
<build>
<outputDirectory>{$basedir}target/classes</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>${basedir}target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>
</build>
</project>
there is a super-pom which is the parent of all the pom.xml that users
create, in that super pom a mess of these things are defined as the defaults
for the project, where the build output would go, where the test classes
will go, etc.
you can refer to a lot of these things like ${project.build.outputDirectory}
in expressions in your poms and those are ironed out when the private
variables are being injected.
I don't know if there is a full listing of what these all are, but that is
the 'how' and 'why' they exist
if you want to know more, just ask
