> Add the ability to set self-referencing properties in the *.properties files of maven.  This could be useful e.g. for javadoc plugin for a (hypothetical) javadoc.offlineUrl property, which points to where the offline javadocs are located:
> project.properties could contain such locations which are part of the project, e.g.
> javadoc.offlineUrl=apidoc/package1/apidoc/packages.html:apidoc/package2/apidoc/packages.html
> $HOME/build.properties then should be able to _extend_ the property by adding further offline URLs, e.g.
> javadoc.offlineUrl=${javadoc.offlineUrl}:/usr/share/j2sdk1.4.1/docs/api/
> Of course, a general "self-referencing properties" could be useful for several other cases.
> As far as I was able to test this feature, a self-referencing properties -used like above- causes a Exception.
> I have no idea which code needs to be changed, so sorry, there's no patch attached.
