[jira] Closed: (MSITE-264) Property names with periods are not resolved

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

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dennis Lundberg closed MSITE-264.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This will not work because Velocity is used to do the filtering. I have added a section to the usage documentation about this.

> I've been trying to get property filtering to work over the site documents as specified in http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/usage.html by appending the '.vm' extension to the appropriate files. The problem is that the property filtering doesn't seem to work when the property names contain periods for breaking up the context words, for example:
> The works:
> ${currentVersion}
> This doesn't:
> ${current.version}
> For some reason the default maven properties which are always available do work even if they have periods, for example this is resolved correctly:
> ${project.version}
