Overhanding properties when rendering Asciidoctor documents with Maven Site plugin

Question

My Maven site contains serveral Asciidoctor documents. I would like to use the properites declared in the configuration of the Maven Site plugin, but it seems so that they are not overhanded to Asciidoctor.

<plugin> 
  <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId> 
  <dependencies>         
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.asciidoctor</groupId>             
      <artifactId>asciidoctor-maven-plugin</artifactId>                  
    </dependency>                        
  </dependencies>     
  <configuration>         
    <attributes> 
      <ta>ddd</ta> 
    </attributes>     
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Here is an example how I try to use the attribute ta in my Asciidoctor documents.

= Example Document

Value of ta is: {ta}

How can I use the attributes defined for Maven Site plugin in my Asciidoctor documents?

At the moment (as of AsciidoctorJ 1.52) it is not possible to use the attributes of Maven Site in Asciidoctor documents.

I filed an issue on this (https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-plugin/issues/170).

For the time being I found a workarount. I use the resouces plugin to write all properties to a file and include this file in my documents. A workaround. A direkt access to defined attributes would be more convenient.
