Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-4297:
----------------------------------------
A classifier is not a project coordinate.
> Disallow use of properties in the project coordinates
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4297
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4297
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: POM
> Reporter: Brian Fox
>
> Maven currently allows properties in the groupId, artifactId and version of a
> pom. This causes artifacts to be produced that require full inheritance and
> interpolation before they can be uniquely identified. It also poses potential
> problems if the properties are defined in settings, env or profiles where the
> consumer can't exactly identify the artifact after the fact.
> Allowing properties in the coordinates generally allows bad practices. After
> all, how can you not know what the identify of the project you're working on
> actually is?
