Description

properties-maven-plugin uses an older version of plexus utils, that fails to read ENV variables properly when a variable is multi-line.

This bug causes it to be difficult to build ZooKeeper in some environments (Fedora, with a default bash 4 shell, for example).

Since ZooKeeper only uses this plugin to get the git commit id, the plugin can be removed, and replaced with a more specific plugin that can achieve the same job with simpler config (https://github.com/koraktor/mavanagaiata)

I'm working on a PR for this, which will come shortly.
