Lief:
ei :-)
When bumping a version in the index, can you also please also add the following element inside the <info> block.
<status>SNAPSHOT</status>
What this does is forces the generated jar file to use SNAPSOT in the
artifact filename while preserving version information within the model.
This is important as it stops to possibility of version of a jar (e.g. 2.0.1
circulating before an actual release is made by the pmc).
Done.
I like the way this is Done with Magic. Maven made it possible to create snapshots. But actually forcing it for unreleased versions seems like a good idea as it can be easy to forget whether jars used within a project is released or not.
One thing however. I often end up having to release SNAPSHOT jars to customers to take advantage of new features before the jar is actually released. When I go back and upgrade such projects, I like to bump any SNAPSHOT jars up to their next released versions. What would you think of the idea of including the version number in the SNAPSHOT jar names as well? By doing this it makes it easier to tell where and when such jars came from. avalon-logkit-SNAPSHOT.jar -> avalon-logkit-2.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
With maven, I usually do this by setting the version to something like 2.0.1-DEV, but as I said, I like the status concept.
Thoughts?
Cheers, Leif
