All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractStringBasedModelInterpolator, StringSearchModelInterpolator, StringVisitorModelInterpolator
```
public interface ModelInterpolator
```
Replaces expressions of the form ${token} with their effective values. Effective values are basically calculated from the elements of the model itself and the execution properties from the building request.

- Method Detail
  - interpolateModel
```
Model interpolateModel(Model model,
                       File projectDir,
                       ModelBuildingRequest request,
                       ModelProblemCollector problems)
```
    Interpolates expressions in the specified model. Note that implementations are free to either interpolate the provided model directly or to create a clone of the model and interpolate the clone. Callers should always use the returned model and must not rely on the input model being updated.
    
    Parameters:
    
    model - The model to interpolate, must not be null.
    
    projectDir - The project directory, may be null if the model does not belong to a local project but to some artifact's metadata.
    
    request - The model building request that holds further settings, must not be null.
    
    problems - The container used to collect problems that were encountered, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The interpolated model, never null.
