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.

• duplicates: MNG-2339 ${project.*} are interpreted in the wrong place
• is depended upon by: MNG-2653 using ${version} for subproject dependencies doesn't work (maven uses 2.4.1 version instead)
