Description

We're using the Jenkins "Maven Repository Server" Plugin that provides automatic upstream repository configuration for a downstream build job.
The plugin basically hosts a repository with the artifacts of the upstream job for consumption by a downstream job.

It configures the upstream repository by setting a system property Jenkins.Repository which is configured in a <repository> section e.g. in settings.xml or pom.xml:

<repository>
         <id>upstream</id>
         <url>${env.Jenkins.Repository}</url>
         <releases>
             <enabled>true</enabled>
         </releases>
         <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
         </snapshots>
      </repository>

With Maven 4.0.0-alpha1 (69d6c6d5a2886bd76fa9d0e922677d4654d1d90b). this does not work anymore:

[ERROR]   The project de.gebit.test:3.2.0-SNAPSHOT (/home/my/projects/test/pom.xml) has 2 errors
[ERROR]     'profiles.profile[jenkins-maven-upstream].repositories.repository.[jenkins].url' contains an expression but should be a constant. @ de.gebit.test-parent:3.1.1
[ERROR]     'profiles.profile[jenkins-maven-upstream].pluginRepositories.pluginRepository.[jenkins].url' contains an expression but should be a constant. @ de.gebit.test-parent:3.1.1

It seems that interpolation of the url is no longer possible.
