Martin Desruisseaux commented on SIS-61:
----------------------------------------

The {{pom.xml}} file uses the {{$\{maven.version\}}} property, which is indeed a very useful information when writing Maven plugins. But this property has been introduced only in Maven 3.0.4. Building the {{sis-build-helper}} module with an older Maven version cause a build failure. The workaround is to specify the property explicitly on the command line, as in the example below:

{noformat}
mvn install --define maven.version=3.0.3
{noformat}

However if many peoples are using older Maven versions, we would probably need to modify the pom.xml for supporting them.
