Are you trying to set a "global" property, or one specific to just a particular plugin? You appear to be trying to do the latter by nesting your properties info inside a <configuration> tag. However the page I referred you to says about configuration: The configuration as DOM object. which strongly implies to me that this is only interpreted by the plugin, and you cannot assume that maven looks in here, ie the plugin alone is responsible for interpreting the contents. I could be wrong here, but don't think so.. Setting properties in a pom which are global to all stuff in the pom (and child poms) is trivial, and definitely works when *not* nested within a <configuration> element (as documented in the page I referred you to): <project> ... <properties> <foo>fooval</foo> </properties> </project> It also works in settings.xml, but you do need to be sure that the profile it is defined within is active..
