You can add it to the pom in the following fashion:
<properties>
<specification.title>JBoss</specification.title>
</properties>
Where specification.title is the property you wish to set.
Updated wiki as well with this info.

Subject: [m2] Properties in the POM
Is there any mechanism for loading properties into the POM from a file,
in the style of an Ant <property file="foo.properties" /> declaration? I
know M2 tries to keep everything in the one file, but the particular
issue I'm coming up against is wanting to define the project version
based on a properties file, which is needed / used by several other
processes, so I can't just move it into the POM.
I looked at profiles, which might be able to help, but I'm not 100%, and
I wondered if there was a more direct means, even if it's specifying the
file on the commandline.
In a related question, can you declare properties in the POM? I've got a
few directory references that are crying out for a common prefix
variable, but I don't see how to achieve it.
Cheers,
Nick
