--------------------------------------
Summary: Replace CI friendly variables in pom.xml when
installing/deploying
Key: MNG-6253
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6253
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.5.0
Reporter: Christoph Amshoff
When using variables in pom.xml to get CI friendly version
(https://maven.apache.org/maven-ci-friendly.html), these will not be replaced
in installed or deployed pom files, which makes them unusable for other builds.
Karl Heinz Marbaise suggested to use the flatten-maven-plugin to do the
property replacement
(http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2017/04/02/maven-pom-files-without-a-version-in-it/),
and this was also suggested as a workaround in other tickets (MDEPLOY-223 got
closed with "Not A Problem" solution).
That indeed works, but flatten-maven-plugin has to be manually configured in
the base POM, and additionally it changes the pom files in many other areas
which you would not want.
I honestly think that property replacement for the three allowed properties
({{$\{revision\}}}, {{$\{sha1\}}}, {{$\{changelist\}}}) should be done by Maven
internally without having the user configure other plugins. The feature is just
not correctly working without, so closing such issues with "Not A Problem" is
too little.
