If you look at the example from the url you posted you will see parts which are evaluated via jelly:
e.g: ${pom.inceptionYear}
As it states, it is "processed" as a jelly script, and therefore allows some simple resolution of such expressions. It doesn't contain a jelly script.
I've had a look into the source in the meantime, there it is stated, that only variable substitution is done by jelly in project.xml. IMO, it would clarify the situation to write this also in the user reference - and also, how and which variables can be used.
Kind regards

You can also see other ways this has been used at http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/digester/project.xml for example, where the artifact id is used to derive other values.

in the user guide it is mentioned, that project.xml contains a jelly

Project.xml doesn't contain a jelly script. If you could point out where in the guide it says that, we'll fix it.
Right here: http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#The_Project_ Object_Model
" The POM, in its familiar project.xml form, is now processed as a Jelly script. In the majority of cases users won't care that the project.xml is really a Jelly script under the covers but it does allow the use interpolated values if you wish. I would rather not see logic start cropping up in project.xml files but the flexibility is there now that the project.xml file is a stealth Jelly script :-) "
Kind regards
