<settings>

			<properties>
				<property-you-like-to-override>value</property-you-like-to-override>
			</properties>
		</profile>
	</profiles>
</settings>

(Replace "property-you-like-to-override" with the name of the property you want to override, and "value" with the value. Replace the profile "id" (in the example "dev") with the id of the profile you want a certain value to be used. In the above example the property "property-you-like-to-override" will have the value "value" when Maven is rurunning.)

If you have any issues adding the settings.xml file, it is probably due to XML syntax errors. To fix, use an online XML formatter to fix errors.
