Hi Apache Maven Team,
we at Tycho [1] have a combination of a core-extension and a
build-plugin. What always is a source of confusion, that one is able to
define e.g. a <tycho-version> property that could be overridden on the
commandline using -D but no such thing exits for the .mvn/extensions.xml
This makes it also hard to make some regression-testing e.g. to check
fast if a certain problem occurs also in the previous version as one
always has to take in mind that the .mvn/extensions.xml must be edited
by hand.
For that reason it would help if at least basic interpolation using the
"maven-properties" would be possible.
I have created a MNG-7395[2] for this already and provided a PR for both
the 4.x [3] and 3.8.x [4] branches.
As the new Maven 3.8.5 release is approaching we'd kindly like to ask if
it would be possible to include this patch already their as this annoyed
our users and require us to use workarounds for our integration tests as
well.
best
Christoph
