Sorry if I'm being a nuisance, but doesn't anyone know how to read repository ".pom" files with variable interpolation enabled? A little pointer into the right direction would already be sufficient... Anyone?

Hello,

I have a question regarding the development of a Maven plugin.
What I'm trying to do is this:
- get the dependencies of the current project
- locate their POMs
- read those POMs, so I have a "Model" object
- check if the "URL"  element is set

Now I've got that far by using the Maven embedder inside my Plugin.
To parse the POM, I do this:

Model aProjectModel = getEmbedder().readModel(aPomArtifact.getFile());

This works ok, but there is a problem: no variable interpolation!
E.g., for commons-lang, I get this value when calling "aProjectModel.getUrl()":

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/${pom.artifactId.substring(8)}/apidocs

I can't use the "readProject()" method of the embedder, because it complains that the POMs format is not right ("bla element only allowed in deployed artifact POM").
Now is there a way to get variable interpolation?
I hope I'm not too complicated...

Thanks to anyone who can help me,
   Michael Böckling


P.S.: In case you wonder: I'm trying to assemble a list of Javadoc-Links of the dependent projects, so the generated Javadoc of the current project is fully inter-linked with its dependencies.
