automatic plugin configuration from system properties
-----------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2064
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2064
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: New Feature

  Components: Plugins and Lifecycle  
    Reporter: Brett Porter
     Fix For: 2.1


it'd be nice to have an automatic way to be able to derive a property that 
would set plugin configuration:

-Dplugin.<prefix>.<property>.<element>.<element>=<value>

eg,
-Dplugin.jar.finalName=foo
-Dplugin.jar.archive.manifest.addClasspath=true

Note that there are other considerations with system properties overriding 
config - it needs to be populated in the POM on release. We should consider 
this, or else allow a plugin to say which variables shouldn't be configured in 
this way (though I'd find that tedious and error prone)
