Christian Gleissner commented on MNG-4998:
------------------------------------------

Hi Luke,

your suggestion seems to be a good compromise between the Maven 2 behavior and how Maven 3.0.x handles properties. I would very much appreciate if the Maven 2 ability to redefine properties could be preserved for Maven 3. As you mentioned, the properties section could then be used for defining defaults which specific plugins may chose to override, only visible within their local configuration contexts. Evgeny's approach to use Groovy snippets for this is very innovative and I'd like to use this in Maven 3.

Thanks
Christian

> Please, see http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Variables-interpolation-dynamic-in-Maven-2-static-in-Maven-3-td3360336.html.
> It demonstrates two examples where expression with ${variables} are interpolated differently in Maven 2 and Maven 3: Maven 2 allows to update <properties> and effect expressions interpolated later, Maven 3 also allows to update <properties> but all expressions are interpolated with their old values. 
> I believe Maven 2 dynamic behavior is much more preferable than Maven 3 Ant-like "stickiness" to what's defined in <properties>.
