Properties overwritten by settings.xml are ignored when creating parent-links
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MSITE-501
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-501
             Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
         Environment: Maven 2.2.1, Site-Plugin 2.1.1, Linux x86_64
            Reporter: Michael Wenig


Our Parent has a url defined by

<url>${site.access.url}</url>

where 
<properties>
<site.access.url>http://testdoku.ourdomain.de/mvn-sites/${groupId}/${artifactId}/${version}</site.access.url>
</properties>

this site.access-url is overwritten by settings.xml on our production server to the production-server:
<site.access.url>http://doku.ourdomain.de/mvn-sites/${groupId}/${artifactId}/${version}</site.access.url>

(this is for security reasons to avoid productive-changes on misconfigured testing-systems)

Unfortunately on our production-server links to the parentPom are generated only by the properties of the parentPom ignoring the settings.xml (which is used everywhere else). Therefore the parent-links are pointing to the testing system and not to production system!

As we are not generating releasePoms (as we need some properties to be present in order to allow changing by children) we have no chance to generate correct links without putting them directly in the pom :-(


Steps to Reproduce:


Generate a parentPom:

<properties>
<site.access.url>http://testdoku.ourdomain.de/mvn-sites/${groupId}/${artifactId}/${version}</site.access.url>
</properties>
<url>${site.access.url}</url>


Generate a second project using the parent


put in your settings.xml: 
<site.access.url>http://doku.ourdomain.de/mvn-sites/${groupId}/${artifactId}/${version}</site.access.url>


an run site for the child - the parentLink is wrong!
