The POM model should support not only <properties/> but also <property-files/>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3487
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3487
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: POM
Reporter: Eduardo Martins
Currently there is no support for properties files in the POM, users often need
this feature and use plugins to achieve that, but plugins can't touch elements
in the POM which use a property to define some value, simply because that is
defined before any phase is done.
I recommend adding a new <project/> element, <property-files>, which can have
<property-file/> childs. Maven will load all properties in this file (no xml,
usual format of property.name=property.value) the same way if they were defined
inside <properties/>.
