Henri Yandell commented on GERONIMO-1672: ----------------------------------------- Security was building fine for me yesterday :) M2 Build: Top level pom has a dependenciesManagement section. This sets up a pool of dependencies for the multiproject, but does not make them actual dependencies - it allows for the version handling to be in one place. Sublevel poms then have dependencies in which they refer to elements in the top level pom - and don't need the version specified. A common problem (for me anyway) is to run mvn package in the module, having changed the top level pom, and not have it see the new dependenciesManagement dependency. Then I remember I have to go back up to the top, run mvn -N install to put the pom in my local repository and then go back to the sub module. Things got a lot easier once that clicked > Migrate security module to M2 > ----------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1672 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1672 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Task > Components: security > Versions: 1.x > Environment: All > Reporter: Anita Kulshreshtha > Assignee: Anita Kulshreshtha > Fix For: 1.x > Attachments: pom.patch > -- 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
