Definitely, this is what maven.properties would be for. The
maven.properties file would effectively be what the build.properties
file is in maven1.
Any defaults the project wanted to set would be done in the POM.

Right, the maven.properties as I am saying it should be used is only for
users. Plugins, projects, groups and sites will strictly use the POM for
configuration and the inheritance mechanism will take care of the
cascading of values, namely properties defined in the POMs.

happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will
elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come
and sit softly on your shoulder ...

Excellent, because a user can have a different property setting for
different project.

What I mean by the notion of maven.properties replacing build.properties
is that a maven.properties file could be found in the user's home
directory somewhere or within the project. Same thing as we have in m1
using build.properties.
