Description

Current property precedence is: (higher number=more important)
1. systemProperties
2. systemPropertiesFile
3. systemPropertyVariables

systemPropertyVariables is not replacement for systemProperties because meaning is different.

For me systemProperties are more useful, because I can define default values in pom.xml and optionally override them in runtime by configuration file.

systemPropertyVariables are not useful because can be overriden only by command line arguments. Commandline is not friendly if several properties must be modified
