>                 Key: MNG-6881
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6881
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
>    Affects Versions: 3.6.3
>            Reporter: Michael Osipov
>            Priority: Major

> The [model builder|https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.3/maven-model-builder/#Model_Interpolation] provides following properties:
>  * {{maven.build.timestamp}}, ({{build.timestamp}}),
>  * {{maven.version}} and {{maven.build.version}}.
> From consistency's perspective, I'd either expect {{maven.build.timestamp}} and {{maven.build.version}} to contain the timestamp at which Maven was built and and the version of this Maven build.
> *But*, it contains the timestamp of the currently built project while the other property still refers to Maven itself.
> This is inconsistent. I'd expect everything build related to be in {{project.build.*}} and with {{project.build.timestamp}}/{{project.build.outputTimestamp}}.
>  * {{maven.build.timestamp}} along with the format property need to be deprecated and removed; resolved in {{project.build.timestamp}}/{{project.build.timestamp.format}}
>  * {{maven.build.version}} needs to be deprecated and replaced with something like {{maven.banner}}/{{maven.versionBanner}}.
