Brett Porter updated MNG-521: ----------------------------- Priority: Blocker (was: Major) > Version inheritance from the parent pom > --------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-521 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-521 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Components: design > Reporter: Eugene Kuleshov > Assignee: John Casey > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0-beta-1 > > > Currently m2 pom require to have explicit version of the parent pom in all > submodules. This should work fine for "standalone" artifacts. However there > is different type of projects (e.g. EAR) that is usually stored in version > control as a whole thing and may contain multiple modules (ejb jars, rar, > war, etc) that are build with the same version as entire EAR. So, EAR > application released with a single global version for all submodules. In m1 > this was possible to specify relative path to parent pom and use version > substitution in child modules and deployer goal was substituting values for > version numbers upon deployment. > For this kind of modules it is very important to have single palce that will > have global version number, which then used for submodules. It is also make > sense to kee optional relative path (that can be also removed/replaced with > concrete parent id/version upon deployment) to support local build. I believe > this is very important for J2EE builds as well as any other projects that are > releasing multiple artifacts/jars under the same version (e.g. ASM, XDoclet). -- 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]
