You are really not encouraged to use application-specific properties
in a settings.xml file, as your builds will not be portable. Instead,
these kinds of properties should be placed directly in the pom (parent
or children as appropriate) of the project you are working on.
I use a similar process for our Ant builds, with project-specific
properties in my user home loaded first, then all-projects properties,
etc. I'm pretty sure this is a common pattern across Ant users.

Since there's been no answers to this question, I'll assume the answer is
"No, it's not possible to use settings.xml to have application-specific
properties."
