properties in settings.xml do not interpolate

[Mark Proctor <li...@markproctor.com>]

Having now found this issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-115

I'm back now trying to get variable interpolation done from properties 
in a settings file. This is my settings.xml file:
<settings>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>default</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault/>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <ydoc.home>${user.home}/dev/ydoc</ydoc.home>
        
<ydoc.license>${user.home}/dev/ydoc/license/ydoc.license</ydoc.license>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

This is the plugin definition:
            <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
              <configuration>
                <doclet>ydoc.doclets.YStandard</doclet>
               
                                    <doclet>ydoc.doclets.YStandard</doclet>
                                   
                                    
<docletPath>${ydoc.home}/lib/ydoc.jar${path.separator}${ydoc.home}/lib/class2svg.jar${path.separator}${ydoc.home}/resources</docletPath>
                                   
                                    <additionalparam>
                                    -license 
${ydoc.license}/resources/ydoc.license -filter 
ydoc.filters.ExcludeFilter -filterpath c:/ydoc//lib/ydoc.jar -umlautogen
                                    </additionalparam>
                                   
                                    <author>true</author>
                                    <bottom>true</bottom>
                                    <!--header><a href="/" 
target="_top">Trails Framework</a></header-->
                                    <minmemory>128m</minmemory>
                                    <maxmemory>512</maxmemory>
                                    
<packagenames>org.drools.*</packagenames>
                                    <use>true</use>
                                    <version>true</version>
                                    <windowtitle>${project.name} 
${project.version} API</windowtitle>
               
                <additionalparam>-umlautogen</additionalparam>
              </configuration>
            </plugin>     

If the properties are defined in thet root pom.xml it works, if they are 
in the settings.xml then it does't. It seems like properties in settings 
are not used in variable interpolation.

I've used settings.xml interpolation with success.

I'm curious about what maven thinks is the value for "activateByDefault" in
the above.  Is it true or false?  My hunch is "false".

So, here are two different suggestions:  1) try
"<activateByDefault>true</activateByDefault> or 2) try 'mvn -Pdefault
install'.

Hope this helps,
John
