Description

In a "project.properties" file defining a properties such as :

maven.myprop.name = ${maven.myprop.name.text}

will cause a java.lang.StackOverflowError because jelly is recursing with no end ...

Define a simple goal as the following to demonstrate the problem.

<goal name="hello">
<a:echo>Hello</a:echo>
</goal>

I don't think this is a dupe of MAVEN-1543. There you have

maven.repo.remote=file:/xxxx,${maven.repo.remote}

which is a true recursion, but here we have

maven.myprop.name = ${maven.myprop.name.text}

where I don't see the recursion. This is the same as the case at MAVEN-1830. Should we re-open this, document it, or is this a known jelly 'feature'?
