["Shane Isbell (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3638?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=149611#action_149611 ] 

Shane Isbell commented on MNG-3638:
-----------------------------------

In 3.0, we are converting the model into URI/value pairs: so the parameter you specified would be: http://apache.org/maven/project/build/resources#collection/resource/directory. I've excluded any URI with collection from being used in interpolation because I have no idea how to choose the correct element within the collection, there being, say two resource/directory.

If someone can come up with a solid, deterministic rule for how this can be done, I can implement it.
