Ah..hang on a minute. Your original mail said:

Setting in the above way is the only way in which I appear to be able to
access the file at a later stage from one of my MOJOs via
System.getProperty("systemprop") .

So your problem is not setting properties that you then reference via
"${propname}" in your pom, but that you want to access them from a custom maven
plugin?
I don't think that maven properties get stored into the "system properties"
object. I haven't written any custom maven plugins myself, but expect your
custom plugin code will need to look up maven properties using a maven api (or
have plexus inject it) rather than using System.getProperty.
