must specify an absolute path maven

I have the following in my settings.xml

<profile>
  <id>default</id>
  <activation>
    <activeByDefault>true></activeByDefault>
  </activation>
  <properties>
    <eclipse.location>/Applications/eclipse</eclipse.location>
  </properties>
</profile>

But I keep getting an error on this line in pom.xml in my project:

        <systemPath>$(eclipse.location)/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_${appengine.target.version}/appengine-java-sdk-${appengine.target.version}/lib/impl/appengine-local-runtime.jar</systemPath>

Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.google.appengine:appengine-local-runtime:jar must specify an absolute path but is $(eclipse.location)/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.9.6/appengine-java-sdk-1.9.6/lib/impl/appengine-local-runtime.jar

From the output from mvn clean I can see that the settings.xml file is read.

 [DEBUG] Reading global settings from /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.1/conf/settings.xml
 [DEBUG] Reading user settings from /Users/xxx/.m2/settings.xml
 [DEBUG] Using local repository at /Users/xxx/.m2/repository

But I get the same error as above:

[ERROR]     'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.google.appengine:appengine-local-runtime:jar must specify an absolute path but is $(eclipse.location)/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.9.6/appengine-java-sdk-1.9.6/lib/impl/appengine-local-runtime.jar @ line 274, column 16

You should use curly brackets instead of parentheses to refer to the properties:

${eclipse.location}
