intellij flags properties set by maven-resources-plugin as "cannot resolve symbol"

Question

In my project's POM, I use maven-resources-plugin to set some properties from a file. However, Intellij flags these property references in the POM with the error "cannot resolve symbol", presumably because it cannot see them being defined anywhere. Is there a way to suppress this error?

Answer 1

Warning: The solution to define the property blank as vikingsteve mentioned is very dangerous because in Maven 3 properties which are declared in pom.xml could not be changed by other plugins.

So if you have one plugin which sets a property and another plugin which reads the value of the property it will always get an empty string if you initialize it in the pom.xml.

In fact you can't define it in the pom.xml but i have no idea what i can do to eliminate the IntelliJ IDEA warning. For now i have to disable the "Maven model inspection". :-(
