assembly descriptor doesn't seem to property substitute properties ------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-331 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-331 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2 Reporter: Jon Osborn For the following assembly.xml: <assembly> <formats> <format>tar.gz</format> </formats> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory> <fileSets> <fileSet> <directory>src/main/resources/appcontent</directory> <outputDirectory>${build.environment}/${build.view}/appcontent</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>**</include> </includes> </fileSet> </fileSets> </assembly> ${build.environment} and ${build.view} are declared as <properties> in parent POM. They retain their 'default' value and cannot be overridden from the command line using the -D (-Dbuild.environment=UAT) syntax. The intent of the properties is to build the tar.gz file with different paths based on the two variables. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
