Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5900:
----------------------------------------

Just noticed myself that

{code}
<url final="true">${immediate.interpolation.due.to.final}</url>
{code}

is yet a different use-case. Let's just not call it {{this}}, please. Maybe 
{{current}} just to avoid using a Java keyword?

> early interpolation: support ${this.*} as expression

>
> Right now we have $\{project.\*} which always interpolates values based on 
> the final project: "classical" interpolation is "late" interpolation. So it 
> is not possible that parent poms can lock values, ie avoid child poms 
> override. By adding $\{this} for "early" interpolation, it will be possible 
> to have intermediate interpolation.
> If a pomfile depends on a parent, that parent will first resolve all 
> $\{this.\*} values for itself. Once the fully inherited pom is there, all 
> $\{project.\*} will be resolved.
