Hi,

m2 collects these "expressions" from several sources. To start, this is some of what I know:

1) System environment properties

2) pom.xml -> expressions here are somewhat bean based. For example, to get the value for the output directory in your pom.xml, you use ${project.build.outputDirectory}, which is a direct pattern from pom.xml's <project> <build> <outputDirectory>.

3) -D command parameters, (may also come from MAVEN_OPTS environment variable)

I've looked and searched, but came up empty.

Is there a maven 2 system property dictionary somewhere? This would list the system properties that have value relative to lifecycle phase, and what the value would be if not overridden by user's POM or -D option. Also with the list is a short description... hope I don't ask too much...

Now that I've posted that question, another comes to mind.... what is the syntax for specifying the expressions of a default value of a parameter? Plugin documentation show the default values on the basis of something called an 'expression'. Apparently, these expressions are written with system properties as variables. Can something more than just a system property name be 'expressed ;-) ' in an expression How can I learn more about this?

Thanks,
John
