Project Properties and "extends"

Is it possible to inherit the parent projects

"parent-project/project.properties"

when you "extend" the

"parent-project/project.xml"?

thanks

I think we'll just hang tight and wait for some property file 
inheritance as well. Until then we can make due with duplicating the 
properties files.

We are looking for the same feature. Here is what we did locally by 
patching maven code. Our project.properties for each project can 
include a master project.properties using the following line:

==== project.properties  of the project ==
@../master/master_project.properties

=====


=== master_project.properties (in master folder, visible to all project 
) ===
# Bunch of properties shared by all subprojects that include this 
project
[...]
maven.jar.override=true
[...]

=====


Patch is fairly trivial. Now I'd like to hear from the maven gurus if 
this is breaking any maven 'rules' or 'principles'. I'm of course in 
favor for the inheritance feature, but the hack will do in the 
meantime.
