Immo Huneke commented on MRESOURCES-29: --------------------------------------- No, actually I have verified that writing $ is PRECISELY equivalent to writing $ - if you use it to introduce a property reference then the value is interpolated. So we're still looking for a workable escape mechanism. > An escape mechanism for property interpolation is missing. > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRESOURCES-29 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-29 > Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Reporter: Hendrik Schreiber > > It would be great, if there was a mechanism that let's you escape a property > so that it is not replaced by the filtering machism. E.g. in a log4j.xml > configuration file you might want to preserve ${user.home}, but replace some > other property like ${log.dir}. Currently there is no convenient way to > achieve that. > Alternatively to escaping, it would be helpful, if one could choose the token > format. So, if one could say, only honor @token@ and not ${token} (or the > other way around) one could easily work around the escape problem. > Workaround for the problem mentioned above: > replace the ${user.home} in log4j.xml with @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@end@ and define > start=${ and end=$} in the property file -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
