maven properties seem not to work in profile activation feature

[Patrizio Munzi]

Hi all,

I'm trying to manage profiles activations/deactivations by using the 
activation tag among with the file tag.
What I would like to do is to activate a particular profile only if a 
specified folder is present into the local repository.
The profile configuration I'm using is the following:
 <profiles>
   <profile>
     <id>apache</id>
     <activation>
       <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
       <file>
         
<missing>${settings.localRepository}/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/2.2-SNAPSHOT</missing>
       </file>
     </activation>
     <repositories>
       [...]
     </repositories>
     <pluginRepositories>
       [...]
     </pluginRepositories>
   </profile>
 </profiles>

Now, if I use the explicit path of the local repository everything works 
well, instead if I use the property ${settings.localRepository} id 
doesn't work. It seems that maven isn't able to give a value to the 
property. I tried this profile configuration in both settings.xml and 
pom.xml files.
Moreover I even tried to use different properties (e.g. ${user.dir}. 
${usr.home}) but in all the case I had no successful results.

Have I missed something...?

Is there any problem in managing properties..?

Thanks
