         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-300
     Project: m2
        Type: Wish
  Components: maven-core  
 Environment: Any

I'm looking for something like Springs, PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer in 
pom.xml (or any other Maven config file).

jdbc.properties snippet:
database.connection.url=SOME_JDBC_CONNECTION_URL


Spring's applicationContext.xml snippet:
<!--
    Configurer that replaces ${...} placeholders in this config file with 
values from properties files.
-->
<bean id="propertyConfigurer"
      
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
>
    <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>classpath:jdbc.properties</value>
            <value>classpath:hibernate.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource"
      class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
>
    <property name="url">
        <value>${database.connection.url}</value>
    </property>
</bean>

The PropertyPlaceholderConfigureer reads in the specified properties files and 
makes their contents available as replacement values throughout the rest of the 
config file.  This is very handy, and something that seems to be missing from 
Maven 1.x.
