CDATA in properties

[Greg Thompson]

In my javadoc-plugin configuration, I currently have something along the 
lines of:

<bottom><![CDATA[somestuff &copy; 2007 somestuff.]]></bottom>
For various reasons, I'd like to move the value into a property.  So 
I've added this to my pom's properties:

<jdBottom><![CDATA[somestuff &copy; 2007 somestuff.]]></jdBottom>

and changed the javadoc-plugin configuration to:

<bottom>${jdBottom}</bottom>

while help:effective-pom says that the property has the proper value:

<jdBottom>somestuff &amp;copy; 2007 somestuff.</jdBottom>

the expansion of the property is being parsed as XML, yielding this in 
the javadoc-plugin configuration:

<bottom>somestuff © 2007 somestuff.</bottom>

This is most definitely NOT what I want.  Of course, the first thing I 
tried was to wrap the use of the property in the javadoc-plugin 
configuration in another CDATA:

<bottom><![CDATA[${jdBottom}]]></bottom>

This has no effect.

Is there any way to do what I want here?  Thanks.
