Maven Plugin to read xml properties file

Just a quick question.

Does anyone knows an XML Properties file plugin , like we had XML property file in ANT 

<property name='foo' value='bar'> 

<property name='foo1' value='${foo}/bar1'> 

<property name='foo2' value='bar2'>

Thanks in Advance

Note: I have an idea of using other ways of declaring properties in maven/ in pom.xml. Just want to know this exact way of implementation.

The Properties Maven Plugin may meet your goal. The properties:read-project-properties will reads property files and stores them as project properties as the following example:-

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-alpha-2</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>initialize</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>read-project-properties</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <files>
                <file>path/to/my_properties</file>
              </files>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Please note, the path/to/my_properties is a simple properties file which contains key-value pair as the following example: -

key1=value1
key2=value2
....

Regarding to the properties above, we can refer them via Maven by using ${key1} or ${key2}.

I hope this may help.
