["Michael Osipov (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6868?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17041862#comment-17041862 ] 

Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6868:
-------------------------------------

I highly doubt that this will be ever implemented because properly interpolation happens *after* the XML tree has been read.

>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 3.6.3
>            Reporter: Rafał Figas

> It would be nice if this would be possible in pom.xml:
> {noformat}
> <properties>
> 	<my-property.list-of-sthg>
> 		<tag>tagA</tag>
> 		<tag>tagB</tag>
> 	</my-property.list-of-sthg>
> </properties>
> {noformat}
> So it could be used like this:
> {noformat}
> <plugin>
> 	...
> 	<configuration>
> 		<tags>${my-property.list-of-sthg}</tags>
> 	</configuration>
> </plugin>
> {noformat}
> It would be helpful when using profiles. Otherwise one has to move whole plugin into profile even if the difference is only in one list parameter.
