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.
