Description

Maven pom parser is NOT substituting pom properties with actual values after parsing.

For e.g when I add a maven artifact with the following pom as dependency in ivy.xml,

<parent>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>aparent</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</parent>

<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>Example</name>
<description>Example.</description>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>a2</artifactId>
<version>${project.parent.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependencies>

ivy fails to resolve a2 dependency. Ivy seems to be looking for artifact com.example.a2-${project.parent.version} instead of searching for com.example.a2-1.0.0 i.e substitute the property with actual value.
