write-active-profile-properties configuration param outputFile not allowed

[VinShurikk]

maven throws error while processing

<execution>
  <id>write-properties</id>
  <phase>generate-resources</phase>
  <goals>
    <goal>write-active-profile-properties</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
    <outputFile>
     src/main/resources/maven.properties
    </outputFile>
  </configuration>
</execution>

With error message
Execution write-properties of goal org.codehaus.mojo:properties-maven-plugin:1.0.0:write-active-profile-properties failed. NullPointerException

Intellij IDEA shows that Element "outputFile" is not allowed here.

write-project-properties goal works as expected

Is this fix (that @mykelavis added) published on some Maven Repository?

[HackerTheMonkey]

This does not seem to exist anywhere on maven central. Can anyone help releasing a new version that contains this fix?

We're still having this issue in 2020. It would be nice if this feature could be merged and published. Thank you.

I lost access to the PR's codebase several years ago. I'm reworking the PR.
