-------------------------------------
Should this be closed?
> Provide a way to override properties of a polyglot build
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6740
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6740
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
> Priority: Major
>
> polyglot allows to generate maven models out of other metadata that pom.xml
> via extensions.
> This is great and offers high flexibility for advanced use-cases but comes
> with the cost that it is not as easy to modify certain settings or properties
> if the data is derived from other sources.
> For example [Eclipse Tycho|https://www.eclipse.org/tycho/] generates models
> out of OSGi/PDE metadata but can often only guess what is the right thing to
> use for example as artifactId, and it can't know of any custom properties a
> user might wish to set.
> While it is always possible to create custom crafted poms, this contradicts
> the approach which goal is to reuse as many metadata as possible, and the
> user only wants do configure a really small portion of it (e.g. the
> description or a single poperty).
> [A proposal was made to integrate support for this inside the tycho
> extension|https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=550239], but because
> it might be of wider use I'd like to evaluate (as suggestes by Mickael
> Istria) if it is possible to implement/add this as a more generic feature
> directly into the maven project.
