Description

Although some excellent work has been to allow for various scheme of interpolation to be employed it would be very beneficial if the buildInterpolatedPomFile method also would use, optionally if you wish, the project's own properties and not just the <interpolationsProperties> supplied parameter values.

Simple use case:

Using the maven-component-it-plugin to inject the project's local repository path into the project's main properties would then allow us to use this value to build a simple 'local repository as a main repository' <repository> into the IT plugin POMS which would allow us to greatly speed up testing.

The assembly plugin currently jumps through the hoops of filtering and installing a special IT parent pom project to interpolate this 'local repo property value' into a POM and then the IT poms use this parent and thus have access to the special repository of the form:

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>main.local.as.remote</id>
<url>file://${local.repo.path}</url>
</repository>
</repositories>

<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>main.local.as.remote</id>
<url>file://${local.repo.path}</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

If the invoker was willing to use the main project's Properties as well as the explicitly defined <interpolationsProperties> in interpolation we could remove the need for this filtering and installing and simply get the job done from in one simple call.
