Harsha Rai commented on MNG-3057: --------------------------------- Hello: The above patch does not work, if the global-version property is defined outside pom.xml or outside settings.xml . In other words, if you define like : $ mvn install -Dglobal-version=1.0.0 in maven 2.0.9 it does not reflect the property "global-version" into the project properties (another existing bug against maven). Hence, the generated pom still will have stale ${global-version} as value. As you can guess obviously, one need to add a few lines of code to fix the bug. Check property against System.getProperty(key) to see if there is a global property defined from command line... Here is a partial diff: + while (m.find()) { + String match = m.group(); + String key = match.substring(2, match.length()-1); + String value = properties.getProperty(key); + if (value == null) { + System.out.println("Trying .. system wide property.."); + value = System.getProperty(key); + if (value !=null) + System.out.println("Found value from sys=" + value); + } + if (value != null) { + s = s.replaceAll("\\$\\{" + key + "\\}", value); + } > properties not expanded in generated POMs when building A/B/C nested projects > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3057 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3057 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.7 > Reporter: George Armhold > Fix For: 2.0.x > > Attachments: example.tar.gz, generated-poms.tar.gz, > InstallMojo.java.patch > > > Using Maven version: 2.0.8-SNAPSHOT, svn r547427. > I checked out and built 2.0.8 because I was interested in Jason van Zyl's > patch for MNG-2619- "building from the middle pom of a > (parent,child,grandchild) heirarchy fails". The fix works for the most part, > but there still seems to be a problem with the poms that get generated during > the install goal.

If I run maven like: > $ mvn install -Dglobal-version=1.0.0 > I get poms with the string "${global-version}" embedded in the resulting poms > rather than what I specify on the command line (or in settings.xml).
