Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-5900: ------------------------------------ I imagine it will require a new specific interpolation step before inheritance assembly: http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.3/maven-model-builder/ and we'll need to take care of compatibility issues with other tools or old Maven versions for POMs published to central > Support ${this.*} as expression > ------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5900 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5900 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x > > > Right now we have $\{project.\*} which always interpolates values based on > the final project. So it is not possible that parent poms can lock values. By > adding $\{this} it will be possible to have intermediate interpolation. > If a pomfile depends on a parent, that parent will first resolve all > $\{this.\*} values for itself. Once the fully inherited pom is there, all > $\{project.\*} will be resolved. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
