The pom.xml archetype-resource within kogito-quarkus-archetype is suffering from early expansion of maven properties referenced in the archetyp-resource.

Problematic are system properties passed to surefire and failsafe plugins:

<maven.home>${maven.home}</maven.home>
<native.image.path>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-runner</native.image.path>

The dollar signs need to be escaped for maven.home and project.build.directory cause it's build env specific and resulting in non-valid generated project.
