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///
