werner mueller commented on MRELEASE-128:
-----------------------------------------
well a lot of plugins have this issue as well. The properties in its original
form cannot be read via the plugin api (as far as i know). You can only
retrieve them in the replaced way. So any plugin that rewrites the pom runs
into this.
from what i know from the plugin it parses the pom.xml manually and replaces
the strings 'by hand'. Which in my eyes is more tricky than one would think
(depends on what part you replace with properties, your project layout, if you
tag or branch or release, ...?)
But how can this be mission critical? It never 'worked' or has been this way.
The release plugin (using svn in my case) needs these three lines in the scm,
tabBase and branchBase are constant. In my eyes this features serves some
readability in the pom and allows infrastructure changes without touching the
pom files. If you do that a lot you're doomed anyway :)

> The <scm> section of a pom in CVS for a pom archetype project looks like this
> prior to executing release:prepare :
> <scm>
> <connection>${base.cvs.url}:commons-maven/uber-pom</connection>
>
> <developerConnection>${base.cvs.url}:commons-maven/uber-pom</developerConnection>
> <url>${base.viewcvs.url}/commons-maven/uber-pom</url>
> </scm>
> Then after executing release:prepare, the pom in CVS looks like this (new
> <tag> tag is only difference):
> <scm>
> <connection>${base.cvs.url}:commons-maven/uber-pom</connection>
>
> <developerConnection>${base.cvs.url}:commons-maven/uber-pom</developerConnection>
> <url>${base.viewcvs.url}/commons-maven/uber-pom</url>
> <tag>R-1_7</tag>
> </scm>
> Then after executing release:perform, the pom looks like this in CVS:
> <scm>
>
> <connection>scm:cvs:pserver:behrcvs.masco-coatings.com:/usr/cvsroot:commons-maven/uber-pom</connection>
>
> <developerConnection>scm:cvs:pserver:behrcvs.masco-coatings.com:/usr/cvsroot:commons-maven/uber-pom</developerConnection>
>
> <url>http://behrcvs.masco-coatings.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/commons-maven/uber-pom</url>
> </scm>
> Notice that the properties that were there for the base URLs for CVS and
> ViewCVS have been replaced with literal values.
> No other properties in the POM are being replaced
