For anyone searching for this in the archives, I created an SO question and a JIRA issue was promptly created.
JIRA issue: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5784 SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29013184/maven-support-for-property-substitution-in-project-name Cheers, Pop 2015-03-12 14:19 GMT+01:00 Pop Qvarnström <pop.qvarnst...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > In a multi module project, I want to reuse the project name from the > parent pom as part of the project name for each module.
