Description

Location: http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html

Snippet:

Properties
This category covers any map which implements java.util.Properties. These parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <key>value</key> in the parameter configuration.

This lead me to believe I could set properties like this:

........
<configuration>
<myPropertiesObject>
<propertyName>propertyValue</propertyName>
</myPropertiesObject>
</configuration>
.............

Instead I've found I need to do it like this:

........
<configuration>
<myPropertiesObject>
<property>
<name>propertyName</name>
<value>propertyValue</value>
<property>
</myPropertiesObject>
</configuration>
.............
