John Casey commented on MNG-3807: --------------------------------- This is related to the version of the plexus container we're using in maven. With more recent versions, the PropertiesConverter (used to convert XML to a Properties instance for plugin parameter injection) does evaluate embedded expressions. However, as of 1.0-alpha-9 of the plexus container, this new code was not in place. It seems we have two options for fixing this: 1. create a maintenance branch based on plexus 1.0-alpha-9 and fix the PropertiesConverter there, then release a new revision for use in maven 2. move maven onto a more recent plexus version, which will entail quite a bit of work since the component model has changed in important ways since alpha-9. My personal opinion is that #2 is preferable if it's reasonably easy to do (not sure on this). This would modernize Maven WRT the plexus container, and enable us to track a little more closely with the progress in plexus in future. However, we could fix the PropertiesConverter itself very quickly, making #1 a much more expedient option. > Maven is not interpolatin Properties at plugin configuration > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-3807 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3807 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 2.1.0-M1 > Reporter: Marvin Froeder > Fix For: 2.1.0-M2 > > > My plugin has a configuration like this: > {noformat} > /** > * My Properties. > * > * @parameter > */ > private Properties myProperties; > {noformat} > When I configure like this: > {noformat} > <myProperties> > <property> > <name>propertyName1</name> > <value>${buildnumber}</value> <!-- property injected on maven properties > by http://mojo.codehaus.org/buildnumber-maven-plugin/ --> > <property> > </myProperties> > {noformat} > Maven doesn't interpolate the buildnumber.
