Dynamic versioning not working with Maven 3.8.2 but 3.9.9

[lfvjimisola]

Hi Tamas,

Just stumbled on an issue with dynamic versioning. Some of our repos use Maven Wrapper and some don't.

The issue, from what I can see, is not related to Wrapper vs No-Wrapper but Maven version (3.8.2 vs 3.9.9).

As seen below the variable substitution works with 3.9.9 but not 3.8.2 (for the exact same project).

Reading the README it seems as if there is full support for 3.8.x.

Are we doing something wrong or is here a bug lurking somewhere?

Non-working example using pure Maven 3.8.2 (no Wrapper) installed by sdkman:

$mvn -V;mvn

Just noticed now that I was on Maven Nisse 0.3.3 locally but I think we're on 0.3.4 (latest) in our pipeline - if that makes any difference.

[cstamas]

Nisse ITs are running with Maven 3.8.8. Unsure why you need exactly 3.8.2. We usually say Maven 3.6, 3.8 or 3.9 or 4.0, and each means latest minor, so 3.8.8, 3.9.9 and ToBeDone 4.0.0.

I see quite some changes (bug fixes) between 3.8.2 and latest 3.8.8: apache/maven@maven-3.8.2...maven-3.8.8

Please try with latest (bugfixed) 3.8.8
