--------------------------------------
I recently ended up on this issue thru [this
thread|http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Variables-interpolation-dynamic-in-Maven-2-static-in-Maven-3-td3360336.html]
while i was searching for the solution to the same problem. I was mavenizing
one of our mixed project (c, c++ and java) and was using the
properties-maven-plugin along with the cbuilds plugins to mavenize my gnu
autotools project. As part of that, i had defined various defaults in the pom
file for autoconf and make but i needed a mechanism for the user to override
those defaults and the most logical and concise way i could find was by using
the properties-maven-plugin to read various parameters from a properties file.
However when i run the project under maven3, i'm suffering this static vs
dynamic interpolation.
I thought i'll comment here with my use case to push for either maven2 like
behavior or Luke's suggestion above. I think without either of those, we seem
to be crippling the usability of maven 3.
> Variables interpolation: dynamic in Maven 2, static in Maven 3

> Key: MNG-4998
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4998
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: POM
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Reporter: Evgeny Goldin
>
> Please, see
> http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Variables-interpolation-dynamic-in-Maven-2-static-in-Maven-3-td3360336.html.
> It demonstrates two examples where expression with ${variables} are
> interpolated differently in Maven 2 and Maven 3: Maven 2 allows to update
> <properties> and effect expressions interpolated later, Maven 3 also allows
> to update <properties> but all expressions are interpolated with their old
> values.
> I believe Maven 2 dynamic behavior is much more preferable than Maven 3
> Ant-like "stickiness" to what's defined in <properties>.
