Description

site:deploy fails because variable substitution in the site url no longer works (it did in version 2.2).

The distributionManagement section in out POM looks something like this:

<distributionManagement>
	<site>
		<id>sites</id>
		<name>Project Website</name>
		<url>scp://server/sites/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}</url>
	</site>
</distributionManagement>

Copying the site to the above mentioned url fails with this message:

[INFO] Error uploading site
Embedded error: Error performing commands for file transfer
Exit code: 1 - bash: /sites/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/../../id-of-the-artifact/0.2.8-SNAPSHOT: bad substitution

Ie. the substitutiuon variables have not been substituted, instead the property values have been appended to the url along with a few dots and dashes.
