> It's impossible to properly generate, for instance, a java policy file which needs files URIs, using either Cargo properties and filtered config files, or just filtered resources.
> In both cases, the problem is the impossibility to generate proper URIs when expanding Maven properties (see also MNG-3760).
> The candidate feature is to add a way to explicitly request the URI when expanding a property by means of a {{.uri}} suffix. The underlying {{getUri()}} method should rely on the correct {{Path#toUri()}} and neither {{File#toUri()}} nor {{File#toString()}}, see the SO reference in MNG-6386.
> For instance:
>  * {{${project.basedir.uri}}} instead of the broken {{${project.baseUri}}} (and of course fix MNG-6436 otherwise it's useless)
>  * {{${project.build.directory.uri}}}
>  * {{${settings.localRepository.uri}}}
>  * etc
