[jira] Commented: (MNG-2569) Expressions not evaluated inside

["Jean-Charles Meyrignac (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2569?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_123759 ] 

Jean-Charles Meyrignac commented on MNG-2569:
---------------------------------------------

I was building Selenium, and found that I could propagate automatically the version number as follows:
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.openqa.selenium</groupId>
        <version>${SeleniumVersion}</version>
        <artifactId>selenium-rc</artifactId>
    </parent>

This worked on Maven 2.0.4, but doesn't with 2.0.6.
Alas, I was forced to upgrade due to maven-assembly-plugin, version 2.2-beta-2-SNAPSHOT, which forces the use of 2.0.6.
