title: What is the order of overwrite Maven properties in pom.xml and settings.xml?
body: <p>today I observed that the maven proprties defined in <code>settings.xml</code> overwrite the one in <code>pom.xml</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Because it is only a observation, I am not sure if this is totally correct. So I am looked for the reference or some article but I find no concrete statement about the behaviour of overwriting properties defined with the same name in <code>settings.xml</code> and <code>pom.xml</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe someone can provide a link to the reference part (that I may overlooked) or the a reliable article/blog?</p>
