sensible way to default maven properties?

[Russ Tremain <ru...@releasetools.org>]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a sensible way to default properties in maven.

I.e., I want to have a property:

<properties>
     <env.FOO>default-value-if-not-defined-elsewhere</env.FOO>
     <FOO>${env.FOO}</FOO>
</properties>


I.e., use the default unless the varialble is provided by the 
environment or via an explicit define in settings.xml or on the 
command line.

tia,
-Russ
