Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-3558: -------------------------------------- This is actually doable in Maven 4. For model properties, the syntax is the following {code:xml} <properties> <tmp-prop>$\{my-prop\}</tmp-prop> </properties> {code} For the antrun plugin configuration, one needs to escape for ant in addition to escape for Maven, so: {code:xml} <echo>How to print my property placeholder #5 (working): $$\{my-prop\}</echo> {code} Starting from Maven 4.0.0-beta-5, the output is the following: {code} [WARNING] [echo] How to print my property placeholder #5 (working): ${my-prop} {code} > Add a property substitution escaping mechanism > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3558 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-3558 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: General > Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 3.1.1 > Reporter: Christophe DENEUX > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > Hi, > Developping a maven plugin, it is possible to initialize plugin parameters to > "$\{artifactId}-$\{version}" without property substitution, using: > {{@parameter expression="$$\{artifactId}-$$\{version}.$$\{extension}"}} > at the parameter declaration. > But, in a POM file, it seems to me that it is not possible to redefine the > value of a such parameter without property substitution. > I had tried without success: > * <parameter>$\{dollar}\{artifactId}</parameter> with the property "dollar" > set to "$", replaced by value of artifactId, > * <parameter>$$\{artifactId}</parameter>, replaced by "$" followed by > artifactId value, > * <parameter>\$\{artifactId}</parameter>, replaced by "\" followed by > artifactId value, > * <parameter><!\[CDATA\[$\{artifactId}]]></parameter>, replaced by value of > artifactId. > Please, add a property substitution escaping mechanism. > Thanks, > Christophe -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
