Description

The POM interpolator (RegexBasedModelInterpolator) removes all leading "pom.", "project." and "env." portions of an expression before evaluating it. then searching for values happens in the following order: system properties, project properties, pom bean properties.

An example: Although $

{pom.version}

is more specific than $

{version}

, version wins. That's the problem in MNGECLIPSE-20.

IMHO the interpolation strategy should be changed.

This seems to be the root cause behind numerous other bugs posted in JIRA...
MNG-2288
MNG-2339
MNG-2486
MNG-2653

It is also the cause for quite a lot of emails on the Maven Users list over the last year.

We have a similar problem in our setup: the property $

{weblogic.name}

is replaced by the value of the current $

{project.name}

property. This looks like the interpolator removes the "xxx." in $

{xxx.name}

(not only "pom.", "project." and "env."). Could this be the case ?
