> I've recently encountered a situation in which maven-resources-plugin would
> hang indefinitely when using resource filtering. I've managed to track it
> down to the loadPropertyFile and getPropertyValue methods in PropertyUtils.
> getPropertyValue appears to have some protection against a property referring
> to itself. So, the following properties file loads fine:
> {code}
> test=${test}
> test2=${test2}
> {code}
> With the value of the "test" property ending up as "$\{test\}". However, if
> you load the following properties file:
> {code}
> test=${test2}
> test2=${test2}
> {code}
> then getPropertyValue seems to get stuck in a loop attempting to resolve the
> property.
> In our case, this was encountered as a result of a misconfiguration (our
> filters.properties is being generated based on a number of sources, and
> something was configured incorrectly). Causing the Maven process to hang
> indefinitely (while using 100% of a CPU core) isn't ideal behaviour.
> I have reproduced this in isolation by directly invoking
> {{PropertyUtils.loadPropertyFile(File, null)}} with the the above data as the
> input file.
