Plugins execute after the build plan has been constructed. Thus it can only provide properties for things which do not affect the build plan. So, while you'll get some mileage out of that plugin.... ultimately you'll end up frustrated when you hit one of the places where property subsitution takes place during determination of the build plan. Also, the property substitution will only take place *when* the plugin is run, so if you invoke another plugin directly outside of a lifecycle goal, you'll get no substitution... -Stephen
