Michael Osipov updated MNG-542:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.x / Backlog)
> Allow properties to inherit from other properties
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-542
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-542
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
> Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-3
> Reporter: Vincent Massol
>
> For example pom.build.outputDirectory (classes directory) should inherit from
> pom.build.directory. Same for all properties that are used to generate build
> data.
> Why? Becasue otherwise it's downright impossible to change the location of
> the target directory (pom.build.directory) as you don't know beforehand all
> the plugins that are part of the lifecycle and how many properties they each
> have and their name.
> For example in the clover plugin I need to set the target dir to another
> location so that main build data is not compromised. I can't do it as I can't
> controll all the properties that could possibly exist. I'd just like to set
> the pom.build.directory to a new value and be done with it.
