Okay, I read that, but is there a way to either use non-standard
*.properties files or *.properties in a non-maven approved directory? Or
is that dysfunctional, and I shouldn't be doing it?

Remember the Maven hierarchy is

<project>/project.properties
<project>/build.properties
<userhome>/build.properties
command-line

With the last one being the value taken. Which is why I put the defaults

in <project>/project.properties. The developer can then either put 
project specific values in <project>/build.properties or Maven global 
values in <userhome>/build.properties.

And the build script forces the right values because it specifies them 
on command line.
