[jira] Created: (MPIR-230) Enable inheritance of custom properties

Enable inheritance of custom properties
---------------------------------------

                 Key: MPIR-230
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-230
             Project: Maven 2.x Project Info Reports Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/201108.mbox/%3CCAOGo0VY7r=-3AofJ56Hu0+R4uf_nADEEbHYpusJ6hnJA=wF2OA@mail.gmail.com%3E
            Reporter: sebbaz+ch


Custom properties were added recently; these allow (e.g.) the mail page to be nicely customised.
This works fine for a single module project, but it appears to be tricky to share the properties easily between modules.

It would be very useful if the plugin supported custom properties defined in a parent POM.

One possibly method would be to allow references to properties defined in a jar, rather than in the filing system.
However, this would still require the jar to be created and deployed.

If the custom properties could be treated more like site.xml, that would be ideal.
