Hi,
 
 In m1 we could use user specific properties in the pom and these properties 
could be read from some properties files.
 
 What is the similar functionality in m2?
 
 Here is what I have found that is somewhat related
 - you can user -Dsome.property=some.value => It doesn't use a file.
 - setting.xml for user specification configuration => you cannot use it to set 
arbitrary properties for a specific pom.
 - filtering => it allows to set properties to resources but not to poms.
 - using the pom's properties element => the properties are set in the pom 
itself, which is what I want to avoid.
 - same as above, but move all the user specific properties in a parent pom 
that could be customized by each user
 The later approach seems to me the closest to the m1 user specific properties 
files. I would however prefer a simpler properties file instead of an xml (pom) 
file.
 
 I am under the impression that I miss something.
 
 What is the right to do it?
 
 
 Thanks
 
 
 Oscar
