Description

I have pom.xml with following snippet:

<build>
<sourceDirectory>src\JavaSource</sourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src\JavaSource</directory>

and it works.
If I use property like this

<build>
<sourceDirectory>src\JavaSource</sourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${project.build.sourceDirectory}</directory>

it doesn't work.

This issue needs to be resolved to really get the most out of the inheritance model. If I've declared the <sourceDirectory> in a parent pom, the child should be able to use ${project.build.sourceDirectory} throughout.

I'm going to write a little test case that uses the logic from the help:effective-pom plugin and a little xpath to make checking these things dead simple. It should be easy for users to give us a quick example of something not working.
