       Body:
I can understand that you want to release 1.0 ASAP and don't have time to add this feature.

Anyway, just for the record:

In a corporate environment you usually have a master makefile (wich is sitting on a network drive or is checked out with the product by using CVS modules or Subversion externals) where things such as default location for source files (src/main or src/java), etc. are specified. It's just very inconvenient to be forced to have exactly the same  .properties file for each product. I know I can have per-user .properties files but this is causing some common problems (such as: A developer simply forgets to update the local .properties file and is working with different settings than the rest of the company).

I think it's just inconvenient that such a master Maven POM cannot read a master .properties file.

Description:
In a corporate environment it's really necessary to be able to specify a global project.properties file (for properties such as maven.repo.remote). So I filed this as a bug which should be fixed in an 1.0 release of maven and not as an enhancement which could be done later.

I would like to add something like this to project.xml:

<globalProperties>//server/build-scripts/master-project.properties
</globalProperties>.
