Of course. I meant that one could use the ${pom.version} or similar thing
within <configuration> section, but that the dash is properly replaced in
each such instance.
Also, whether it would make sense to have a reduced version as well, so that
if ${pom.version} == "1.2.3", I could use "something" to end up with a
Export-Package: org.hedhman.niclas.api; version=1.2
to allow smoother handling of graceful compatibility upgrades.
