[M2] System properties

[ekio]

Hello.  Does anyone know if there is a way to declare system properties from within a pom file, rather than doing it on the command line? (Ex: mvn -Dproperty=value scm:checkout)  I saw some examples on the web, some plugins do the following under <configuration> of <plugin>:

<systemProperties>
   <property>
      <name>property</name>
      <value>value</value>
   </property>
</systemProperties>

I am writing a scm-provider, and I want to use the System.getProperty() method in the provider to get the properties.  It works when I declare the properties on the command line, but not when I declare them from inside the pom...  

Any idea?  Thanks a lot!

You can have user to set the properties at a fixed file location ( ie ${
user.home}/.yourprovider.

Check out the source for cvs, svn,starteam, etc providers

Thank you.  
But is it possible that I can do this from the pom?

Most likely there is no way to do.

What is wrong with the suggested scheme?

Oh there is noting wrong.  But if it is possible to do that in the pom, then I can bind a property to a phase, and have different values in different phases.

Can http://grid.in2p3.fr/build-tools/maven-properties-plugin/set-mojo.html do so? If yes, then how? I'm a maven noob.

Well, why ask users to supply options?
