> Maven properties are not like Ant properties
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNGSITE-141
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-141
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: http://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Properties
> Reporter: Larry West
> Priority: Minor
>
> The text says "Maven properties are value placeholder, like properties in
> Ant." This is incorrect. Ant properties generally cannot be changed.
> Maven documentation is oddly silent on this crucial point -- I cannot imagine
> how many hours have been wasted by this -- but in my tests, Maven 3 does
> change the value of properties.
> It's a huge difference in functionality, and a surprise to anyone coming from
> Ant, and that line exacerbates the problem.
> The fix: append this text: ", except that Maven properties are NOT immutable,
> which is to say attempts to change (user-defined) properties will succeed."
