Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6437:
-------------------------------------
I highgly second that. I have so much crap custom code in our modules and
plugins handling URIs. It is just a pain to maintain. We should remove as much
as possible and solely rely on {{.uri}} interpolation, and what Claude
recommends: {{Path#toUri()}} only.
> Generic .uri suffix to get the URI representation of any file property
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-6437
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6437
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.5.4
> Reporter: Claude Brisson
> Priority: Major
>
> It's impossible to properly generate, for instance, a java policy file which
> needs files URIs, using either Cargo properties and filtered config files, or
> just filtered resources.
> In both cases, the problem is the impossibility to generate proper URIs when
> expanding Maven properties (see also MNG-3760).
> The candidate feature is to add a way to explicitly request the URI when
> expanding a property by means of a {{.uri}} suffix. The underlying
> {{getUri()}} method should rely on the correct {{Path#toUri()}} and neither
> {{File#toUri()}} nor {{File#toString()}}, see the SO reference in MNG-6386.
> For instance:
> * {{${project.basedir.uri}}} instead of the broken {{${project.baseUri}}}
> (and of course fix MNG-6436 otherwise it's useless)
> * {{${project.build.directory.uri}}}
> * {{${settings.localRepository.uri}}}
> * etc
