sorry, it is not a bug but something that is not intuitive interpolation happens in maven-model-builder[1], at the end of phase 1, with StringSearchModelInterpolator
interpolation uses model, where parent is not a project, but parent [2]: it only has fields related to the XML <parent> model Then what seemed reasonable is not :) Regards, Hervé [1] http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-model-builder/ [2] http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-model/apidocs/org/apache/maven/model/Parent.html Le jeudi 12 mars 2015 14:19:05 Pop Qvarnström a écrit : > 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.
