Description:
currentl maven.properties is only used for a handful of properties. Push them into the POM and then get rid of maven.properties altogether.

This will also affect the bootstrap, as it uses maven.repo.local.

Properties like localRepository may not be valid in a propert POM, only the user POM, so consider adding a feature request to modello for this.

Finally, there needs to be a way to do command-line overrides. Come up with a way to do this: probably it is a standard notation of system properties, eg:
-Dmaven.localRepository=...
which overrides <localRepository />

-Dmaven.scm.url=...
which overrides
<scm>
  <url>...</url>
</scm>
but not other elements of the scm tag

also something like
-Dmaven.build.unitTest.excludes=**/FooTest.java,**/BadTest.java
which would simulate:
<excludes>
 <exclude>**/FooTest.java</exclude>
 <exclude>**/BadTest.java</exclude>
</excludes>
