install plugin does not resolve properties in local repo's .pom file

[Stefan Armbruster <ml...@armbruster-it.de>]

Hi,

when the install plugin creates the .pom file in the local repository along 
with the artifact, property references inside the pom are not replaced.

Example: create a sample webapp project via "mvn archetype:generate", choose 
type 18 (maven-archetype-webapp).

Modify the generated pom.xml to look like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>mygroupid.${client}</groupId>
  <artifactId>myartifactird</artifactId>
  <packaging>war</packaging>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>myartifactird Maven Webapp</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <build>
    <finalName>myartifactird</finalName>
  </build>
</project>

NB, there's a property ${client} in the groupId. When calling
mvn -Dclient=customer_a install
the resulting .war file will be installed in 
M2_repo/mygroupid/customer_a/....
The .pom file in the local repository still has the ${client} property and not 
the resolved value.

Is this a bug? Or can someone point me how to replace this property by its 
value?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
