Bug#868693: maven-repo-helper: POMReader does not take account of debian/maven.properties

[Christopher Hoskin]

Package: maven-repo-helper
Version: 1.9.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Normally, the value of properties can be specified to maven on the command line,
or in the debian/maven.properties file. e.g. if the pom.xml file contains

<properties>
    <example.property>1234</example.property>
<properties>

this can be changed by adding

example.property=wxyz

to debian/maven.properties. However, POMReader expands properties in 
dependencies before applying the rules. This expansion appears not to take
account of properties specified in debian/maven.properties.

(See also Bug #823875 for another issue where properties in dependencies do not
behave as one would normally expect).

Thanks.

Christopher Hoskin
