Hi all, It looks like this could have been fixed in 2.0.9 which introduces support for default profiles. I am guessing because I am defining my properties within a profile , this is why it is not being read by the Maven ANT tasks.
Does anyone know when or how to find out when this version will be available? I have looked on their roadmap and it seems like all issues have been resolved for 2.0.9.

Hi all, I am using Maven ANT tasks to deploy a number of JAR files I produce as part of my build. For each JAR file I have a corresponding pom.xml file (not called pom.xml however:) ). I define references to these files in my build script as follows: <artifact:pom id="xxx.pom" file="xxx.xml"/> And later refer to them when I want to deploy as follows: <artifact:deploy file="xxx.jar"> <remoteRepository refid="my-repository"/> <pom refid="xxx.pom"/> </artifact:deploy> Since I have multiple pom files (one for each JAR file to deploy) I need to set the version of the JAR artifacts in every pom file. To avoid having to do this I tried adding a property <deploy.version> inside of my settings.xml as follows: <settings> ... <profiles> <profile> <id>default</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> ... <properties> <deploy.version>version_number</deploy.version> </properties> ... </profile> </profiles> ... </settings> I have then put ${deploy.version} inside of the version tag of each of my poms. The issue is that when I run my ANT deploy task this variable is not translated from ${deploy.version}, however, if I rename each of the pom files to pom.xml and run "mvn help:effective-pom" then the property name is appropriately substituted with whatever I have set <deploy.version> to in settings.xml. My question is... why is there this inconsistency in substitution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
