Hi,
I wanted to check with users about the frequency of using ${pom.X} notation in properties files. I would like to remove this feature as it is causing some grief internally and the only place I see it being used internally is driver.properties which isn't visible to most users.
I don't believe this 'feature' is being used but I wanted to check because I believe I made an error in judgement letting this usage into existence.
So for example in driver.properties we have:
maven.final.name = ${pom.artifactId}-${pom.currentVersion}
This is the type of usage I want to remove.
Just a clarification: there seem to be a few places in plugins where the ${pom.X) interpolation is used and I can catch those to make sure things work. I really just wanted to know if this feature is in widespread use.
I would really like to move to properties files that strictly contain user defined values and not pom defined values.
I've used it once in a while, to do stuff like
maven.ejb.final.name=${pom.artifactId}-beans-${pom.currentVersion}Now this was to get around a limitation of the ejb plugin, which can't (or couldn't) let you override the final name. It would not necessarilly be that big a deal if this went away, I suppose, as long as I could still acess the value in maven.xml///
