Mickaƫl Floc'hlay commented on MASSEMBLY-363: --------------------------------------------- I think the priority of this issue should be higher than "minor". In my case, I have a to-be-filtered file in which i wrote something.name=${something.name} which results, after being filtered by the assembly plugin, to : something.name=<the content of my pom file pom.name> This occurs whether a property something.name is set in the filtering file or not. As naming a property .name is pretty current, this issue can be really annoying and should be resolved with a higher priority.

Turns out there is in ${project}, however. > Specifying ${.url} and ${.file}, etc. result in replacements same as > ${project.url} and ${project.file} as well.

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
