> Currently there is no support for properties files in the POM, users often need this feature and use plugins to achieve that, but plugins can't touch elements in the POM which use a property to define some value, simply because that is defined before any phase is done.
> I recommend adding a new <project/> element, <property-files>, which can have <property-file/> childs. Maven will load all properties in this file (no xml, usual format of property.name=property.value) the same way if they were defined inside <properties/>.
