Description

We are experiencing the same issue as #1416 where otel.resource.attributes and OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES are not applied to the Maven extension's resource, even in versions claimed to be fixed.

Steps to Reproduce

mvn -X clean verify -Dotel.resource.attributes="test.key=static,another.key=123"

Expected Result

Custom attributes from otel.resource.attributes should appear in the Maven service's resource.

Actual Result

Only default attributes appear

Working version

Tested 1.26.0-alpha - custom attributes do appear in resource.

Component version

v1.52.0

Log output

Maven debug log shows:

[INFO] OpenTelemetry: Initialize OpenTelemetrySdkService v1.52.0-alpha...
[DEBUG] OpenTelemetry: OTLP exporter endpoint is explicitly configured

No test.key or another.key in the resource.
