> Hi gurus,
> 
> I like to use another file instead ${user.home}/build.properties.
> 
> I like to specify a alternative filename e.g. on the maven 
> CLI or by a system property (e.g. maven 
> -Duser.properties.file=C:\maven.build.properties/via $MAVEN_OPTS).
> 
> I have the problem here that build.properties as filename is 
> already in use by another program/project/whatever and I 
> don't want to interfere with that file.  The other project 
> can't change it's filename.
> 
> Before I start to create a JIRA entry/submit a patch I like 
> to hear your opinion - do you find this also potentially 
> useful and will it be added if documented properly?

> I already identified the line 766 in MavenUtils.java

>   File userBuildPropertiesFile =
>     new File( System.getProperty( "user.home" ), "build.properties" );
> --SNIP--
> being responsible for the filename "${user.home}/build.properties"...
