Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-2562:
----------------------------------------
Matthew, I believe there is probably a misunderstanding. We have to distinguish
what gets interpolated (and by whom). The Maven core is only responsible for
interpolating the POM, not the resources or any other project source files. The
latter is the job for plugins, usually the Maven Resources Plugin. So you
should fill the issue at the plugin which needs to be updated to support the
timestamp as a new interpolation source. The plugin can fetch the value from
the {{MavenSession}}.
BTW, I updated the site some time ago so that the feature in now documented,
see [Available
Variable|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html#Available_Variables].
> expose current time as a property for POM interpolation
