Brett Porter commented on MNG-379: ---------------------------------- no, there hasn't been any design. Let me expand on my thoughts: - prompting for updates currently, there are daily checks for a new version, and if found it is downloaded and used. I would like that it is possible (and the default in interactive mode) to prompt whether to use that version, and record the choice in settings.xml. eg. A newer version of the Maven IDEA plugin is available. Current version: 1.4 Available: 1.5.1 Would you like to use the new version? - ability to stick to a particular version controlled via the settings model, you should be able to keep a particular version. Answering a no above would probably populate that - ability to check on different intervals than snapshots (probably default to never, and use a --update-plugins clie or something) this one is probably self explanatory. Currently ther snapshot policy is used for checking the plugin releases - a different policy might be appropriate Bear in mind this might later apply to other components in the system. I think the stuff needed in the settings model is: - plugin g/a id - currently selected version, per plugin, default to RELEASE if not given - previously rejected versions, per plugin (don't prompt again for upgrades to these versions) - global policy: update frequency (probably a property on the plugin repository, that could be set in the servers section?) - global policy: prompt for updates, auto-install (no need for never - that would be the check interval above) And finally - let the profiles change these values :) What do you think? I'm happy to move this to beta-1 if it is too large. > more control over plugin updates > -------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-379 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-379 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Reporter: Brett Porter > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0-alpha-3 > > > currently, plugin updates are checked daily (or whatever the plugin > repository's snapshot policy is), and new versions downloaded automatically. > The user needs more control: > - prompting for updates > - ability to stick to a particular version > - ability to check on different intervals than snapshots (probably default to > never, and use a --update-plugins clie or something) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
