Cannot filter system properties in 2.0.4
----------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-2688
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2688
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Bootstrap & Build
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
         Environment: Windows XP, sp2
            Reporter: Chad Ellison


I would like to filter a system property, so that a property within my 
application.properties files is replaced at runtime. The instructions at 
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How%20do%20I%20filter%20resource%20files?
 are not working. 

Specifically, in my application.propertiies file I have a variable defined 
"command.line.prop=${command.line.prop}" and then when I run...

mvn process-resources "-Dcommand.line.prop=hello again"

... I would expect the property to be replaced by "hello again", but it is not. 
It is worth noting that Java variables like ${java.version} are also not 
filtered.
