String replacement doesn't work about joda-convert

[jodastephen]

I don't see why that is a problem - its just normal Maven behaviour. That file is the pom.xml as seen in the project. If maven interprets it, the variables will be resolved.

[sormuras]

True.

But if you grab the value as-is you no longer get the final expanded value.

Version 1.9.2 of the pom.xml declared <url>http://www.joda.org/joda-convert/</url> ... which is directly useable from scanners like jpms-module-names ... which don't use "normal" Maven/Aether API to retrieve values from the poms.

Unfortunately this is just the way Maven works. See here for example

[sormuras]

Sure. But ${...} is seldom used in the URL element. Older versions of your libraries don't do it. All other libraries included in the jpms-module-names table don't do it.

This is 100% an issue of the jpms-module-names parser/generator -- thus, I'm closing this and JodaOrg/joda-beans#189

[jodastephen]

I'm introducing a parent pom, so all joda-projects will likely have this over time!

[sormuras]

I saw it coming... 🙈

...maybe, I'll enhance the XML/POM parser to look for local properties:

<properties>
<!--  Parent pom.xml control  -->
<joda.osgi.packages>org.joda.convert.*</joda.osgi.packages>
<joda.module.name>org.joda.convert</joda.module.name>
<joda.artifactId>joda-convert</joda.artifactId>
<!--  Set to Java 6  -->
<joda.release.version>6</joda.release.version>
<maven.compiler.compilerVersion>1.6</maven.compiler.compilerVersion>
<maven.compiler.source>1.6</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

Great!
