Filter replaces all variables ending in ., .url, .file, etc. with corresponding value from POM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-363 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-363 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2 Environment: Win32, Maven 2.0.9 Reporter: Stephen Robinson Priority: Minor A resource file (a Unix shell file) with this definition : ${BASE_DIR:=..} results in this after being filtered by the assembly plugin : MavenProject: catmktg:FlexRxProject:T1.4.0 @ F:\FlexRx\checkouts\pom.xml The expectation is that '..' would be left alone as there is no definition for this in our context. Turns out there is in ${project}, however. Specifying ${.url} and ${.file}, etc. result in replacements same as ${project.url} and ${project.file} as well. This seems like a bug but perhaps it is a feature that needs some refinement. The workaround in our case is to quote the dots ('..') which works when using it in a Unix path. However, this may not suffice in other cases. I've seen similar reports in MWAR-133 and MRESOURCES-20 but I cannot find a report in MASSEMBLY. -- 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
