You talk about "override by the user" which implies some kind of inheritance,
at least
for me.

So strait forward:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>xy-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xy</groupId>
<artifactId>xy-compiler</artifactId>
<version>${xy.compilerVersion}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
... somewhere in a child ...
<properties>
<xy.compilerVersion>4.5</xy.compilerVersion>
</properties>
