[M2] Properties not being expanded/interpolated in local repository POMs

[George Armhold <ga...@vonage.com>]

Hello,
There seem to be a number of JIRA issues that may be manifestations of the
same problem- properties not being interpolated in the POM during
install:install to the local repository.  I am a new maven user, so perhaps
I am misunderstanding something fundamental, but I think that pom files
installed into the local repo should have all properties expanded; is this
not the case?

The mailing list suggests that this started in 2.0.3.  I still see the
problem in the 2.0.7 built from svn source.  Here are the issues that may be
related:

POM interpolation problem in maven-2.0.3:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2186

Variables are not replaced into installed pom file:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2971

properties not expanded in generated POMs when building A/B/C nested
projects:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3057

building from the middle pom of a (parent,child,grandchild) heirarchy fails:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2619

global variable filtering of pom.xml for parent and sub module pom.xml files
is not working when deploying to a repository:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2412

It's also been mentioned on the mailing list a few times.  I think this is
an important issue and would appreciate it if someone could clarify the
expected behavior, and suggest a potential fix or workaround.  I'm happy to
work with anyone who would like to explore this.

Thanks
