-------------------------------------

Can you check whether MNG-7417 is the breaking change?

> An important change has been introduced in 3.8.5 that breaks some existing builds: Java system properties now take precedence over default values of user properties in dependency POMs. This look like a bug since it's now easy to affect dependency behaviors with system properties, a practice that has been discouraged. But maybe do you consider this as a new feature ?
> As an example, 3 poms are attached to this ticket.
> After installing projects b and c, building project a with:
> {{mvn package -Ddep=x}}
> used to succeed until 3.8.4 (-D is ignored) but throws error with 3.8.5 and 3.8.6 (-D override the default).
> Note that without the setting of the default value for property {{dep}} in project b, the build fails with any version of Maven.
