Description

When filtering resources, ${project.dependencies[0].artifactId} is not expanded (remains unchanged in the output file).

I've tried to define a property in my pom to workaround this issue:

<properties>
<myartifact>${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}</myartifact>
</properties>

But, still, filtering the following file:

<somenode>
  <fileName>${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}</fileName>
  <fileName>${myartifact}</fileName>
</somenode>

Produces the following unexpected result:

<somenode>
  <fileName>${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}</fileName>
  <fileName>${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}</fileName>
</somenode>

The only working workaround I've found is to use the antrun plugin:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>process-resources</phase>
      <configuration>
        <tasks>
          <echo>${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}</echo>
          <echo>${artifactId}</echo>
          <replace file="${project.build.outputDirectory}/my.xml" token="@@@" value="${project.dependencies[0].artifactId}"/> 
        </tasks>
      </configuration>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

I didn't test all cases but this problem may affect all "indexed" properties (as defined in PLXUTILS-37).

I'm attaching a sample project demonstrating this problem.
