Hi

Actually i make available the following properties:

       artifactId ==> project.getArtifactId();
       version ==> project.getVersion();
       groupId" ==> project.getGroupId();
       name ==> project.getName();
       description ==> project.getDescription();

       and all project's properties ==> project.getProperties();

but not expression. I'll work on to implement this good enhancement

thanks for feedback

Since, currently, minitemplator doesn't support expression evaluation,  this 
feature requires a deep refactoring 

i've open an issue to minitemplator master project 
(https://github.com/bsorrentino/minitemplator/issues/1)

So i don't think to work on this enhancement at short term

however .. if you need this feature use plugin/configuration/properties

For example if you need of  ${project.organization.name} set the a plugin 
property as shown below

<configuration>
<properties>
 <organization>${project.organization.name}</organization>
</properties>
</configuration>

and within template you could use ${organization} variable

hope this help
