To provide a final place where all values can be overridden. The
asumption being that not many values would actually ever reside in
~/build.properties. As Maven is project centric it is assumed that all
values of importance are specified at the project level. Given N maven
projects with their own project.properties how many values in your
~/build.properties conflict with values in any of the project that use
Maven to build?

Well, I have exactly two entries in my ~/build.properties, I have never
had a problem and I don't recall many other complaints about the
dominance of the properties file processing.

Not without some examples of what the problem is. What exactly are you
having problems with?
