Can you please suggest where I should put this file and how I can read values from this file into JMeter?
For example:
<jmeterThreads>${jmeterThreads}</jmeterThreads> <-- How do I use this variable in a JMeter script?
Other variables I would like to use are:
<jmeterRampUpTime>${jmeterRampUpTime}</jmeterRampUpTime>
<jmeterLoopCount>${jmeterLoopCount}</jmeterLoopCount>

Answer 1

Assuming you define the following block:
<properties>
<jmeterThreads>1</jmeterThreads>
</properties>
You should be able to add the following section to the JMeter Maven Plugin declaration:
<configuration>
<propertiesUser>
<jmeterThreads>${jmeterThreads}</jmeterThreads>
</propertiesUser>
</configuration>
and refer the value using __P() function in your JMeter test where required as:
${__P(jmeterThreads)}
Additionally you can amend the value using -D command-line argument like:
mvn -DjmeterThreads=100 clean verify
Other properties should be handled just the same way.

Answer 2

The layout should be:
To pass parameters, enter in pom.xml as child of configuration:
<propertiesJMeter>
<BUILD_TAG>${project.version}</BUILD_TAG>
<threads>7</threads>
<duration>30</duration>
</propertiesJMeter>
And in jmeter, to use threads for example, you would use __P function:
${__P(threads,5)
