Erwin Hoeckx commented on MNG-5900:
-----------------------------------
We have the same situation that [~FlorianSchaetz] is sketching (although in a
bit different style).
Wrt the discussion about _this_ (although I think _this_ is clear): 'this' in
the context of a 'parent' pom lands when developers understand the relationship
between the parent/child pom, and the notion of a project. As [~schulte77]
points out, it can be a bit confusing if you think in terms of OO, but proper
documentation should sort this out. Perhaps 'pom' (referring to the the current
POM you're looking at)?
+1 for this making it into maven 4!
> early interpolation: support ${this.*} as expression
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-5900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5900
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, POM
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
>
>
> 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.
