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

Since it looks like the problem is that it is stripping off the "project" part of the property, I was able to reference "${project.build.directory}" by replacing it with "${project.project.build.directory}"
Unfortunately this will likely break once the bug is fixed.

> I have a assembly descriptor file with ${project.build.directory} in the <source> element of a <file>. I get an error "Failed to create assembly: File to filter not found" because the file path has "${project.build.directory}" rather than the value of ${project.build.directory}.
> I have traced the problem to AssemblyInterpolator.interpolateElementValue(). It tries to look up build.directory in ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate() rather than project.build.directory, and it can't evaluate build.directory. A hack workaround is ...
>       if (value == null)

>         try
>         {
>           value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(realExpr, project);
>           if (value == null)
>           {
>             // HACK: strip ${ and } and retry
>             wholeExpr = wholeExpr.substring(2, wholeExpr.length() - 1);
>             value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(wholeExpr, project);
>           }
>         }
