Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-5784:
------------------------------------
just have a look at POM model
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-model/maven.html
{{project.parent}} is not the parent project, like the {{project.parent.name}}
suggests, but it represents the {{<parent>}} pom.xml element
> SO question regarding replacing name tag with ${project.parent.name} does not
> work in multi module builds.

> Key: MNG-5784
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5784
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Assignee: Christian Schulte
> Priority: Minor
>
> Based on the following stackoverflow question:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29013184/maven-support-for-property-substitution-in-project-name
> The described behaviour looks wrong to me.
> The question is: Is it bug?
> Copied content from SO:
> In a multi module project, I want to reuse the project name from the parent
> pom as part of the project name for each module. The only info I have managed
> to find says that property substitution is not allowed in
> /project/(groupId|artifactId|version), which suggests that it is allowed in
> /project/name.
> I have tried setting /project/name to `${project.parent.name} - Some Module`
> in the pom for a sub module, but it seems that this property is only
> substituted selectively: sometimes the literal string `${project.parent.name}
> - Some Module` is used, sometimes the substitution works.
> In the reactor summary, for example, the literal string is used:
> {code}
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Reactor Summary:
> [INFO]
> [INFO] Glorious Parent .................................... SUCCESS [
> 0.016 s]
> [INFO] ${project.parent.name} - Some Module ............... SUCCESS [
> 2.482 s]
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

> {code}
> Same thing for the archiver when creating a manifest file using
> `<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>` or `<addDefaultImplementationEntries>`.
> However, if I manually add manifest entries, the substitution happens:
> {code}
> <manifestEntries>
> <Project-Name>${project.name}</Project-Name>
> </manifestEntries>
> {code}
> Results in `Project-Name: Glorious Parent - Some Module`
> Is there any way to know when or where the substitution will happen, or -
> preferrably - to make it happen everywhere, all the time?
