[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5900) early interpolation: support ${this.*} as expression

["Christian Schulte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15222359#comment-15222359 ] 

Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5900:
----------------------------------------

Regarding {noformat}${this.*}{noformat} properties: I think {{this}} is misleading. I would prefer introducing a different syntax. For example: Immediate interpolation is requested by using a different syntax like {noformat}$${project.url}{noformat} or {noformat}@{project.url}{noformat}, etc. WDYT

> Right now we have $\{project.\*} which always interpolates values based on the final project: "classical" interpolation is "late" interpolation. So it is not possible that parent poms can lock values, ie avoid child poms override. By adding $\{this} for "early" interpolation, it will be possible to have intermediate interpolation.
> If a pomfile depends on a parent, that parent will first resolve all $\{this.\*} values for itself. Once the fully inherited pom is there, all $\{project.\*} will be resolved.
