Robert Scholte commented on MNG-5900:
-------------------------------------
$\{this.*} is mainly useful in pom packaging projects. To let all third party
tools work correctly, these values should be resolved before being
installed/deployed in case of current 4.0.0 modelVersion. Just an idea: maybe
we could use {{prerequisites/maven}} to decide if $\{this.*} should be resolved
or not.
> 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.
