Failure to find io.openliberty.tools:liberty-maven-app-parent:pom:${project.version}

[kgibm]

Using the liberty-archetype-webapp archtype instructions with the latest release of 3.3.4 doesn't work:

@kgibm Does it not prompt you for the libertyPluginVersion ? I am trying to recreate, and I get a prompt for libertyPluginVersion. If I enter a valid value such as 3.3.4, it works fine. If I just hit Enter, then I see the problem you reported above. I am looking into why the ${project.version} does not get resolved for later versions (it does get resolved for 3.2.3). But wanted to see if you are able to specify a valid value as a work around.

@cherylking Ah, no, I was running in batch mode (-B). Adding -DlibertyPluginVersion=3.3.4 worked, thanks!

The fix may involve something like this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7223031/how-to-embed-archetype-project-version-in-maven-archetype

Issue #929 and PR #931 are related to this and I think fixed one problem and introduced another. The filtering was removed when it should have been fixed. It was needed for the proper variable substituion.
