Description

Given a project A, which has a parent B with pom.xml that evaluates system properties like this:

    <profile>
       <id>doclint-java8-disable</id>
       <activation>
         <jdk>[1.8,)</jdk>
       </activation>
       <properties>
         <javadoc.additional.params>-Xdoclint:none</javadoc.additional.params>
       </properties>
     </profile>

The mvn archetype:create-from-project fails with an error. This is because the ProjectBuildingRequest has no userProperties or systemProperties set:

I will commit an @Ignored test case and a commented fix.
