Jean-Charles Meyrignac commented on MNG-2569: --------------------------------------------- I was building Selenium, and found that I could propagate automatically the version number as follows: <parent> <groupId>org.openqa.selenium</groupId> <version>${SeleniumVersion}</version> <artifactId>selenium-rc</artifactId> </parent> This worked on Maven 2.0.4, but doesn't with 2.0.6. Alas, I was forced to upgrade due to maven-assembly-plugin, version 2.2-beta-2-SNAPSHOT, which forces the use of 2.0.6. > Expressions not evaluated inside <parent> > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2569 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2569 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, POM, Reactor and workspace > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: WinXP > Java 1.5_08 > Maven 2.04 > Reporter: Thomas Minor > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Reviewed Pending Version Assignment > > > The version tag within the parrent block does not evaluate properties. > If I put a Version String directly in there, it works. > A correctly defined property doesn't. -- 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
