[jira] Created: (MECLIPSE-543) custom properties not being evaluated before being referenced

["Vinh (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

custom properties not being evaluated before being referenced
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-543
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-543
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Vinh


The following setup is not being handled correctly by the plugin, although it builds fine from the command-line.  It seems to not evaluate the property definitions before applying it to where the properties are referenced, both in the current pom and child poms.  The result is that I must hard-code the version property throughout all my poms.  This becomes cumbersome later on when I must change the version property value.

<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">
    <properties>
        <my.version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</my.version>
    </properties>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.test</groupId>
    <artifactId>common</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <name>common</name>
    <version>${my.version}</version>
...
</project>
