Howdy,

yes and no :)

Historically, Maven3 was "pushing" Maven User Properties into Java
System Properties, that was later picked up by Maven System properties
(not to be mixed up with Java System properties, Maven one contains
env. etc as well).
It was a bit messy.

We do want to clean up this, and stop pushing them into Java System
properties, as this is one of the obstacles preventing multiple Mavens
per single JVM:

For example, see here:
https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/0b7235c0942d5758692318919d5d34d6971f79d2/impl/maven-cli/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cling/invoker/mvn/resident/ResidentMavenInvoker.java#L64-L69

Today, mvnd holds a pool of "(resident) maven processes" for this
exact reason, but somewhere in the future the new "resident maven"
could itself become a pool as well, and even new mvnsh could make use
of it as well...

Still, this change was NOT planned for 4.0.0, so it is most probably a
bug, please report it.

Still, this should also be a "heads up" for plugin and extension devs,
to NOT rely that users properties are also present in Java System
properties, instead, they should use Maven session (is even more clear
in Maven 4 API) to get them.

Thanks
T

PS: rc-2 had some issues in this area, and the master may have already
fixed this. Before reporting the issue, could you try with a master
built Maven?
