I noticed the very same thing and I also thought it was a bug because
the eclipse plugin is unable to use such poms (with unexpanded
variables) for artifact resolution. Running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on a
project inheriting one of those artifacts gives the following error:
[WARNING] POM for
'myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile' is invalid. It
will be ignored for artifact resolution. Reason: Failed to validate POM
for project ${myproject.groupId}:com.mycompany.core at Artifact
[myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile]
Once this happens, one of the main advantages of maven is lost:
transitive dependencies. Is it a bug or an expected behavior ? Is there
something I'm missing here? Normally that variable should be resolved as
it is defined in one of the profiles defined in my settings.xml which is
always activated.

inherit and override.

Subject: POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
I am trying to set the version of my projects using a property defined
on the maven command line. Please see below for examples.
The resulting .pom installed in the repository still contains the
reference to my variable 'productVersion'.
Should not the variable reference be expanded to its value?
Many thanks
Alessandro
[ sample command line option ]
mvn -DproductVersion=TEST install
[ sample pom ]
