Package: maven-repo-helper
Version: 1.8.12
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
POMReader contains a function expandProperties which expands any properties
infered or specified in the POM into GroupId, ArtifactId, Type and Version for
each dependancy. However, POMReader does not appear to expand properties
defined in parent or grandparent POMs. For example, in qpid-java,
broker-core/pom.xml contains the fragments
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
<artifactId>qpid-java-build</artifactId>
<version>6.0.2</version>
</parent>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>${fasterxml-jackson-version}</version>
</dependency>
But the property fasterxml-jackson-version is defined in the parent POM.
Ideally POMReader would be able to handle this situation.
Thanks.
Christopher Hoskin
