title: How to override plugin properties from pom?
body: <p>In the plugin pom, there is a property defined as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;project 
      ...
      &lt;properties&gt;
          &lt;jruby.version&gt;1.6.8&lt;/jruby.version&gt;
      &lt;/properties&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to override that property in my project's pom (define it to "1.7.0").</p>
  
  <p>Some extra information that might be useful:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>In the plugin's pom, this property is used to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>a) specify a dependency version (I know how to override this - see <a href="http://blog.sonatype.com/2008/04/how-to-override-a-plugins-dependency-in-maven/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.sonatype.com/2008/04/how-to-override-a-plugins-dependency-in-maven/</a></p></li>
  <li><p>b) specify a configuration in a plugin's goal (don't know how to override this)</p></li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is it possible?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
