---------------------------------------

             Summary: mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId Can't be 
used in scripts.
                 Key: MPH-144
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-144
             Project: Maven Help Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise


Currently if you  use {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId}} there 
will be some lines generated with {{[INFO] ...]] If you use {{mvn help:evaluate 
-Dexpression=project.groupId -q}} you won't get anything printed out.

It would be a good idea to have an output via a supplemental parameter like 
this:
{{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -Dstdout=true -q}} to get 
printed out the information like this (:
{code}
0.2.0-SNAPSHOT
{code}
this would give the opportunity to use the call within scripts etc.
Also might be possible in one go:

{{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -DoutputFile=result.txt -q}}

to write the expression result into a file.

Or the question is if it would be possible/good idea to print out the resulting 
expression anyway (ignoring -q for only {{[INFO]...}} parts)
{{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -q}}
