Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried them all but no luck.
\\\${service.root.url}/bullpen/readwrite does not stop variable replacement.
${dollar}{service.root.url} does not stop it either it actually resolves
the nested variables.
\u0024{service.root.url}/bullpen/readwrite does stop variable replacement
but then when you want to do the replacement it doesn't work.
It sure would be good if Maven used this
http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-filtering/ approach everywhere. Is
there a place I can make that request?
