Hi guys, I'm rather curious about that construction mentioned below, but couldn't get any responses on the user-list. would you mind, providing me a pointer to some information or if it's supposed to work at all?
sorry for hesitating, -Stefan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stefan Hübner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 27.11.2006 17:44 Subject: Undocumented property expansion? To: maven-users <users@maven.apache.org> Hi all, the other day I found this statement inside commons-logging-1.1.pom (<http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.1/commons-logging-1.1.pom>): "<url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/${pom.artifactId.substring(8)}/</url>" I tried the same "substring"-thing in my poms, but Maven didn't expand the URL like I would have expected. Is a statement like that actually supposed to work? If so, is there a common pattern to use similar features (e.g. ${groupId.replaceAll(".", "/")} )? Any hints? Thanks in advance! -Stefan
