Properties not correctly propagated from parent to child
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4017
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4017
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Environment: XP. May effect other versions.
Reporter: Chris Graham
I have a parent pom, that has these properties defined in them (amongst others):
<properties>
<java.source.version>1.4</java.source.version>
<java.target.version>${java.source.version}</java.target.version>
<pmd.target.jdk>${java.target.version}</pmd.target.jdk>
</properties>
When I have a pom that uses the above as a parent (either directly, or further
up the tree), the java.source.version is lost, and set to 1.5 - when run under
java 1.5.
mvn help:effective-pom (and verified by looking at the versions of the
generated classes) shows that the child is set to 1.5.
Does this not break the inheritance model of POMS?
This is the output from help:effective-pom (of the child):
<properties>
<java.source.version>1.5</java.source.version>
<java.target.version>1.5</java.target.version>
<pmd.target.jdk>1.5</pmd.target.jdk>
</properties>
This is the output from help:effective-pom (of the parent):
<properties>
<java.source.version>1.4</java.source.version>
<java.target.version>1.4</java.target.version>
<pmd.target.jdk>1.4</pmd.target.jdk>
</properties>
