Eclipse Plugin and using variables?

[to...@gi-de.com]

Hi, 

in my pom.xml I have the following:

...
<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4</version>
</plugin>
...

<properties>
 
<tomcatPath>${env.JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar</tomcatPath>
</properties>
...
<dependency>
        <groupId>tomcat</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-util</artifactId>
        <version>5.5</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>${tomcatPath}/tomcat-util.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
...

When I now call mvn eclipse:eclipse the generated *.classpath results to 
an expanded classpath:

<classpath>
...
        <classpathentry kind="lib" 
path="C:/eap/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/tomcat-util.jar"/>
...
</classpath>

Is it possible to generate a .classpath file, that keeps using the 
variable JBOSS_HOME?
For M2_REPO for example the path is not expanded.


Thanx, Torsten
