[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1890?page=comments#action_12427784 ] Ralph Goers commented on COCOON-1890: -------------------------------------
I should think that would be obvious. I value a vote for MNG-1577 higher because I want a real fix to this problem. I've been looking into what it will take to fix this and might be able to get some time to do it myself. But the real issue is that the Maven developers don't seem to think this is a "real" problem, so the more people who complain the better. I don't like the tool because it proposes to "solve" the problem in exactly the wrong way - by updating every pom it can find. With the correct approach none of these poms would have a version in them at all. Now, you could go right now to all these poms and remove the versions and then create a master pom with all the correct versions in it. That would be a much better approach. But it won't work unless you disable transitive dependencies. > Provide a tool to update artifact versions within multiple POMs > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-1890 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1890 > Project: Cocoon > Issue Type: Task > Components: - Build System: Maven > Affects Versions: 2.2-dev (Current SVN) > Reporter: Andreas Hochsteger > Attachments: update-artifact-version.zip > > > When doing releases with Maven you have to modify many POMs to reflect the > correct artifact versions. > The problem is, that the whole repository should always use the consistent > artifact versions. > Reinhard talked to me about this problem and I tried to put togeather a quick > script combined with an XSL which could do this task. > Attached is a first version (docs and comments within the files) which does > the job. > It would be great, if somebody could give it a try and provide some feedback. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
