I've had various problems when the variable has a . or - in it. I use a
workaround like this:
<property name="buildnumber" value="${build.number}" />
<j:if test="${empty(buildnumber)}" >
<fail>Usage: maven -Dbuild.number=xxxxx releaseNotes</fail>
</j:if>
If I put <j:if test="${empty(build.number)}" >, it doesn't work. This is a
different code example then yours, but you can apply the idea.
