It's as Anders wrote already. If you want to use the same property names in
settings.xml and pom.xml you have to put them in a profile, that's how I do
it and it works. The profile could be <activeByDefault> if you prefer.
So your settings.xml could look like this:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>someProf</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<database.url>someUrl</database.url>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
And your pom.xml would be this:
<project>
...
<properties>
<database.url>someDummyValue</database.url>
</properties>
</project>
Now reading the properties via System.getProperty("database.url") shoud work.
