Description

In the documentation for the "pom" tasks at http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/examples/pom.html
there's a section "Accessing POM information" with a very simple example that I can't get to work.
Attached is my build.xml and pom.xml which should match the example. I expected the placeholder
$

{mypom.version} to be replaced with the version number from the pom ("0.6"), but instead I see
the placeholder. I also tried with ${mypom.project.version} with the same result.

The output from "ant":

Buildfile: /Users/knut/build.xml

propdemo:
[echo] The version is ${mypom.version}

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second

If I instead use the ANT construct <xmlproperty file="pom.xml" prefix="maven"/>
I get the properties, but that's not the same thing.

I believe this will be fixed in maven-ant-tasks 2.1.1,
at least judging by MANTTASKS-178
