Hi Simon,
Sorry for the confusion, but I am not trying to set a basic property,
but a JVM System Property. A property which would be accessible from the
Java code using System.getProperty("PropertyName");
I then want that property to be available to every plugin I execute.

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..
Regards,
Simon
