Variable in pom.xml not resolved

[Dennis4b]

I am trying to use an ivyDep (included via dependencies): com.helger / ph-jaxb-pom / 1.0.3

In its pom.xml file at https://github.com/phax/ph-jaxb-pom/blob/master/pom.xml

it has the following section near the bottom:

      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-bom</artifactId>
        <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>

which gives:

--------------------------------------------
  org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-bom:${jaxb.version} 
	not found: /home/dennis/.ivy2/local/org.glassfish.jaxb/jaxb-bom/${jaxb.version}/ivys/ivy.xml
	not found: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-bom/${jaxb.version}/jaxb-bom-${jaxb.version}.pom
	download error: Caught java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 84: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-bom/${jaxb.version}/jaxb-bom-${jaxb.version}.pom (Illegal character in path at index 84: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-bom/${jaxb.version}/jaxb-bom-${jaxb.version}.pom) while downloading https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-bom/${jaxb.version}/jaxb-bom-${jaxb.version}.pom

I don't know enough about maven to say if the problem is in the (generated?) pom.xml file, or if mill should be able to resolve this.

Making my project directly depend on the latest version of org.glassfish.jaxb / jaxb.com (which is fetched succesfully) does not solve the problem as it will still try to fetch ${jaxb.version}.

That seems to be an issue with coursier. I opened https://github.com/coursier/coursier/issues/1503 for it, I have a fix underway.
