Properties read in parent module unavailable in children

[ROARy]

Perhaps my expectations are incorrect but I would expect that if a property file is read in by the parent then those properties should be available to its children as well.

For my use case, I have a couple giant globs of property files in the parent module containing properties that should be disseminated to its children but getting them there has proved a challenge.

It would be nice if we could hoist these up and make them available for child modules.

I found the opposite is true too - properties read from in child POMs are not seen in the parent POMs.

I would REALLY like to see a fix for this issue. It would make life SO much more worth living :) Currently I have to use the plugin in whatever submodule I need the properties defined in my properties file, or define the properties in the block in the parent pom - which I would like to avoid since I want to use the same file across several projects.
