Thanks Hermod, you've helped me make *some* progress.
It appears the problem is that the variable name I'm using is not
recognised, so the original expression is passed unaltered.
${pom.name} works fine for example (expanded)
However none of the following work:
${project.build.outputDirectory}
${project.build.directory}
${pom.build.directory}
Anyone know what the magic variable name is for passing the
outputDirectory (ie dir where main java src gets compiled to) to the
unit tests as a system property?
Thanks,
Simon
