Just so this is on the mailing list so others can benefit from my
research I plan on trying to use this:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/usage.html
If it does not work, I will write a plugin that does what I need to
allow me to pull properties from an external file. Personally, I
never used profiles.xml to specify changes to the build process, I
just used it for build properties. So this plugin completely replaces
my previous use of profiles.xml. Thanks again for the help,
Scott

That clearly depends on how you define this term. Personally, I don't
see any contradiction between Maven's approach and profile files. In
contrary, I am quite unhappy that they are gone. They have been
incredibly useful for things like having a workspace with multiple
versions of the same software when it comes to things like specifying
database parameters. Using profiles for that is much more complicated,
because I have to explicitly specify the profile with any invocation.
