-------------------------------------
[~rfscholte], WDYT?
> Inconsistent property semantics against their names in Maven Model Builder
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6881
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6881
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 3.6.3
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
>
> The [model
> builder|https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.3/maven-model-builder/#Model_Interpolation]
> provides following properties:
> * {{maven.build.timestamp}}, ({{build.timestamp}}),
> * {{maven.version}} and {{maven.build.version}}.
> From consistency's perspective, I'd either expect {{maven.build.timestamp}}
> and {{maven.build.version}} to contain the timestamp at which Maven was built
> and and the version of this Maven build.
> *But*, it contains the timestamp of the currently built project while the
> other property still refers to Maven itself.
> This is inconsistent. I'd expect everything build related to be in
> {{project.build.*}} and with
> {{project.build.timestamp}}/{{project.build.outputTimestamp}}.
> * {{maven.build.timestamp}} along with the format property need to be
> deprecated and removed; resolved in
> {{project.build.timestamp}}/{{project.build.timestamp.format}}
> * {{maven.build.version}} needs to be deprecated and replaced with something
> like {{maven.banner}}/{{maven.versionBanner}}.
