---------------------------------

             Summary: Project property cannot be resolved inside <env-entry> element
                 Key: MEAR-188
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-188
             Project: Maven Ear Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.9
            Reporter: Maciej Kara?
         Attachments: test.zip

I have created simple ear project with filters. I want to use different settings for each environment and those settings should be passed to generated *application.xml* file inside the *env-entries*. The generation of ear package is done as shown below:

{code:xml}
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.9</version>
                <configuration>
                    <generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml>
                    <version>6</version>
                    <envEntries>
                        <env-entry>
                            <env-entry-name>customProperty</env-entry-name>
                            <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
                            <env-entry-value>${custom.property}</env-entry-value>
                        </env-entry>
                    </envEntries>
                    <applicationName>${custom.property}</applicationName>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
{code}

To read maven project properties from external properties file I had to use another plugin: [properties-maven-plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/]. It successfully reads properties from file and sets them as maven project properties, so I can insert them in pom.xml file using *${}*. It works for most of the pom.xml elements (i.e. *<applicationName>*), unfortunately it is not successfully looked up when I place it inside *env-entry* element where I need it. Below is generated *application.xml*.

{code:xml}
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">
        <application-name>default property</application-name>
        <display-name>test</display-name>
        <env-entry>
            <env-entry-name>customProperty</env-entry-name>
            <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
            <env-entry-value>${custom.property}</env-entry-value>
        </env-entry>
    </application>
{code}

If I put project properties inside the <properties></properties> block everything works fine, but that doesn't allow me to use filters for *application.xml*.

I'm attaching maven project with all necessary configuration. I have also submitted an issue at [Stackoverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23734249/maven-ear-plugin-project-property-lookup-fails], because I didn't have account here.
