Description:
In a lot of projects we see the following usage:

maven.xdoc.version = ${pom.currentVersion}

Which is not something which we are going to allow in future versions of Maven because of the sheer redundancy. Here we are taking a value from the POM, putting it in a property only to have it used in a plugin again. The plugin should simply use the ${pom.currentVersion} from within the plugin. If someone actually wants to specify a version than they can but we don't need the above usage at all, we can default to that value in the absence of the property being specified.
