It says: > > These variables are all referenced by the prefix "project.". > > You may also see references with pom. as the prefix, or the > > prefix omitted entirely - these forms are now deprecated and > > should not be used. > Jason van Zyl says: > {quote}For backward compat they will remain during 3.0. We should collapse > them in 3.1.{quote} > Brian Fox says: > {quote}Yeah deprecated in 3.x. However we'll always have to support them when > resolving things from the repo since that's cast in stone for projects > already released. We should not support them for projects being built with > 3.x though.{quote} > Paul Merlin has suggested giving them warnings to facilitate their dis-use. > The summary is: > (a) 3.0 should warn about the old-style references > (b) The references must remain interpolated when present in poms drawn from > the repositories > (c) 3.1 should prevent their use in project builds -- 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
