We have maven multi module projects.
Most of our modules are named after their artifactid so the project name in our pom.xml is:
<name>${project.artifactId}</name>
However this causes problems when checking out a project from subversion. The project will be named “${project.artifactId}” instead of the real project name. As the second module wants to create a new project with the same name the checkout will fail.
Maven itself handles such variable substitutions without problems.
Kind regards
