You were relying on a bug. the following xpath:/project/parent/groupId, xpath:/project/parent/artifactId, xpath:/project/parent/version, xpath:/project/groupId, xpath:/project/artifactId, xpath:/project/version cannot ever reference a property as they are all evaluated before the model is available.
