[jira] [Created] (MNG-8709) Maven 4.0 erroneously reports it cannot resolve a dependency version from a property

Jack Green created MNG-8709:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Maven 4.0 erroneously reports it cannot resolve a dependency version from a property
                 Key: MNG-8709
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8709
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-3
            Reporter: Jack Green
         Attachments: pom.xml

Take a {{pom.xml}} where the version of a dependency is set via a property within a profile:

 
{code:java}
<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/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>    <groupId>com.me</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-4-test</artifactId>    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>    <profiles>        <profile>            <id>spring-6</id>            <activation>                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>            </activation>            <properties>                <org.springframework.version>6.2.0</org.springframework.version>            </properties>        </profile>    </profiles>    <dependencies>        <dependency>            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>            <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>            <version>${org.springframework.version}</version>            <scope>test</scope>        </dependency>    </dependencies></project>
{code}
This works fine in {{{}Maven 3.9.9 (8e8579a9e76f7d015ee5ec7bfcdc97d260186937){}}}, but in {{{}Maven 4.0.0-rc-3 (3952d00ce65df6753b63a51e86b1f626c55a8df2){}}}, {{clean install}} fails with:

 

 
{code:java}
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:3.1.3:install (default-install) on project maven-4-test: Execution default-install of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:3.1.3:install failed: org.apache.maven.api.services.ModelBuilderException: 1 problem was  for com.me:maven-4-test:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
[ERROR]     - [ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework:spring-context:jar must be a valid version but is '${org.springframework.version}'. @ line 24, column 13{code}
 

 

I believe this to be a bug because if you query other ways it shows the version _is_ being resolved:

 

{{{}help:evaluate -Dexpression=org.springframework.version{}}}:
{code:java}
6.2.0 {code}
help:effective-pom:

 
{code:java}
  <properties>
    {...}
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
  </properties>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
      <version>6.2.0</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies> {code}
