-----------------------------------
Summary: Generic .uri suffix to get the URI representation of any
file property
Key: MNG-6437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6437
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.5.4
Reporter: Claude Brisson
It's impossible to properly generate, for instance, a java policy file which
needs files URIs, using either Cargo properties and filtered config files, or
just filtered resources.
In both cases, the problem is the impossibility to generate proper URIs when
expanding Maven properties (see also MNG-3760).
The candidate feature is to add a way to explicitly request the URI when
expanding a property by means of a {{.uri}} suffix. The underlying {{getUri()}}
method should rely on the correct {{Path#toUri()}} and neither {{File#toUri()}}
nor {{File#toString()}}, see the SO reference in MNG-6386.
For instance:
* {{${project.basedir.uri}}} instead of the broken {{${project.baseUri}}} (and
of course fix MNG-6436 otherwise it's useless)
* {{${project.build.directory.uri}}}
* {{${settings.localRepository.uri}}}
* etc
