you can probably get what you're looking for by using that properties plugin
(making sure it runs before cargo), and then rather than adding the property
directly in the <configuration> section, use properties plugin to set the
_expression_ the parameter is mapped to
that is, assuming that the parameter is mapped to an expression
e.g. enforcer has a "skip" parameter [1], which is mapped to the expression
${enforcer.skip}, so if you don't directly configure skip in enforcer's
configuration section, but instead have the properties set the
"enforcer.skip" expression before enforcer runs, when enforcer loads you'll
see the value from the file
properties listed directly in the POM get resolved before the plugin runs,
and the plugin will get the same as seen when running help:effective-pom
i think that's how it will work, anyways
how advisable this route is? i don't know. will it "work"? maybe, i think
so
