> POM reference for <properties> is incomplete and misleading
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNGSITE-136
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-136
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Maven 2.2.1; RHEL 6; Java 1.6.0_24
> Reporter: David Biesack
> Assignee: Herve Boutemy
> Priority: Minor

> The POM reference at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties is
> misleading - it does not document the syntax for <properties> but says "Maven
> properties are value placeholder, like properties in Ant." so I mistakenly
> assumed Ant syntax, and some examples on that page are in an <activation>
> element which use
> <property>
> <name>mavenVersion</name>
> <value>2.0.3</value>
> </property>
> syntax, but this is misleading
> Apparently, <properties> uses the syntax
> <properties>
> <some-property-name>some-property-value</some-property-name>
> <another-property-name>another-property-value</another-property-name>
> </properties>
> but the reference doc does not state this clearly, only showing
> <properties>...</properties>
