In Maven2, the replacement for the properties file is the "profiles.xml" file. If you put it in the same directory as your pom.xml, you can override system properties.
Try putting the following into profiles.xml in the root directory of your project: <profiles> <profile> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <id>build</id> <properties> <maven.compiler.debug>true</maven.compiler.debug> </properties> </profile> </profiles> This has the same effect as specifying -Dmaven.compiler.debug=true on the command line. You can also take the <profile> section from this file and put it in your settings.xml file to enable compiler.debug for all your Maven2 projects.

I am suffering from these problems. 1. I am working on maven 2.0.2, I have seen, In this version we are not able to use properties file. I am using maven-compiler-plugin, But I need to set false for ${maven.compiler.debug}.For this I used to set command line properties.But it is ignoring these properties. How I am able to work with these properties. 2. In other case, I am working with maven 2.0.2. I am able to generate jar files, after completing successful build with maven.But problem is, I need to put compress="false" option through pom.xml or properties(command line properties). I have seen in maven1, it is possible through properties${maven.jar.compress} file. could you please let me know, how can I use with maven2.
