I seem to recall reading that it is possible to use a custom property
in a settings.xml file.

For example I should be able to have;

<settings>
    ...
    <localRepository>${workarea}/repository</localRepository>
    ...
</settings>

and then invoke maven with 

mvn -Dworkarea=/home/myuser/development/myproj clean package

and expect my build to use 
    /home/myuser/development/myproj/repository 

as the local repository.

However, I have tried it and it does not seem to work.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

If it is not possible, is there any other way I can have a local
repository that is not hardcoded in the settings file?
