otel.resource.attributes and OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES doesn't work

What happened?

Description

Setting the otel.resource.attributes doesn't work, contrary to documentation.

I tested a few versions - this was working in 1.27, and stopped working in 1.28 and does not work in latest.

Steps to Reproduce

Configure the opentelemetry-maven-extension (I'm exporting to Honeycomb, but I don't expect it to make a difference).

Run:

mvn clean -Dotel.resource.attributes="key1=val1,key2=val2" 

Expected Result

These attributes are exported to the otel collector.

Actual Result

These attributes are missing.

Component version

v1.28.0 - v.37.0

Log output

When building with 1.27 and -X, I get
