Dimitar Dimitrov commented on MNG-2577:
---------------------------------------

Do you mean that you will not be expanding properties defined in profiles and referenced in other elements; or do you mean all properties defined in profiles and referenced anywhere in settings.xml?

If the latter, I can guarantee that there a lot of users would be banging their heads and try to make it work, as many people assume that what they read in a book must be true. In this case, just to limit the damage, I would suggest that you contact Mergere so they can amend the book.

> the attached patch (against 2.0.4) allows interpolation of system properties into the .m2/settings.xml
> and interpolation of system properties and the properties of profiles found in .m2/settings.xml (if they are activeByDefault) into conf/settings.xml
> these features are necessary in order to propagate user account settings defined in user-specific .m2/settings.xml into server sections of the institution-wide conf/settings.xml
