You can simply access sys.props a bidirectional mutable map representing the current system properties. so you can do something like this if you want to have more advanced custom properties from file in your build.scala sbt is more powerful than maven because you can simply write scala code if you need something very custom from question How do I consume -D variables in build.scala using SBT? |

Also i strongly recommend using sbt over maven if you re primarily working with scala sbt handles combined java and scala builds too from question Scala-maven-plugin failed to execute |

A maven plugin is a jar file but with packaging maven-plugin not jar as it would be usual;but apparently sbt does not like it or does not find it for some reason from question Use maven plugin on SBT |
