Can properties in settings.xml be used inside settings.xml ?

[Arne Styve <as...@offsimcentre.no>]

Hi

A quick semi-newbie question:

If I define a property within settings.xml (the one found at
<maven_home>/conf), can that property be used within the same
setting.xml file ?

Example:

<settings xmlns="http://m.....>
    
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>test</id>
            <!--
            Some properties
            -->
            <properties>
                <!-- The root domain -->
                <server.root>portal.mycompany.com</server.osc.root>
                <!-- The HTTP URL to the Company Maven2 repositories -->
 
<mavenrepos.httpurl>http://${server.root}/maven2</mavenrepos.httpurl>
            </properties>
            ......
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>mycompany.thirdparty</id> 
                    <name>MyCompany Internal Thirdparty
Repository</name> 
                    <url>${mavenrepos.httpurl}/Thirdparty</url> 
                    <layout>default</layout>
                </repository>
           </repositories>
           ...
      </profile>
   </profiles>
   .....
</setting>

I've tried this, and it seems that the properties are not substituted
with their values when I use ${mavenrepos.httpurl} as in the
<repositories>-section. Is this correct, or have I missed out on
something here ?

Regards
Arne
