        Key: MAVEN-1224
    Summary: subprojects should inherit project.properties file that lives in same dir as <extend>'ed pom file
       Type: Improvement

Environment: linux

Description:
let's say i've got this structure:

superproj/
|-- maven.xml
|-- project.properties
|-- project.xml
`-- subproj
    |-- project.properties
    `-- project.xml

and subproj's project.xml inherits superproj's project.xml... if I run maven from inside subproj, I want to inherit superproj's project.properties.

it's nice to be able to build stuff at the top level (using multiproject), but it'd be also nice to build at the subproj level without having to dup project.properties...

for example i want to be able to just run maven checkstyle from w/in the subproj. of course the checkstyle properties are all defined in the top-level project.properties...

I will attach a simple patch. (nothing refactored. a few lines copy/pasted). It seems to work correctly. The subproject's project.proprties overrides those of the subclassed pom's properties file.
