Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

We use the buildnumber plugin to put a timestamp into a properties file and it doesn't work anymore in Eclipse after we've upgraded to m2e 1.0 (works fine from the command line). According to Igor it's a more global problem with "project properties set by one mojo are not visible to mojos executed later in the build lifecycle".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce yourself, create an app.properties with the following contents:

buildnumber=${buildNumber}
project.version=${project.version}

And then put the following in your pom.xml:

    <build>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
                <includes>
                    <include>app.properties</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0-beta-1</version> <!-- can't update to newer version due to MOJO-1463 -->
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>create</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <format>{0,date,yyMMddHHmm}</format>
                    <items>
                        <item>timestamp</item>
                    </items>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

${project.version} gets resolved fine, from Eclipse or the command line, but ${buildNumber} only gets resolves if run from the command line. I've tried every phase I can think of, to no avail.
