> The POM reference at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties is misleading - it does not document the syntax for <properties> but says "Maven properties are value placeholder, like properties in Ant." so I mistakenly assumed Ant syntax, and some examples on that page are in an <activation> element which use
>         <property>
>           <name>mavenVersion</name>
>           <value>2.0.3</value>
>         </property>
> syntax, but this is misleading
> Apparently, <properties> uses the syntax 
>   <properties>
>      <some-property-name>some-property-value</some-property-name>
>      <another-property-name>another-property-value</another-property-name>
>   </properties>
> but the reference doc does not state this clearly, only showing
>   <properties>...</properties>
