Brett Porter closed MNG-724:
----------------------------
Assign To: Brett Porter
Resolution: Won't Fix
I'm not in favour of this. It's still not a deterministic way to handle this.
The problem is that m2 libs are breaking compatibility. Two things need to
happen (or not happen as the case may be):
- stabilise the maven public API, particularly anything used by plugins. Stop
breaking them.
- reduce dependence on the m2 APIs and minimise what is exposed to the plugins
by separating a known API from the implementations.
To ease the pain while we are still changing the interfaces, plugins can now
specify a minimum m2 version to run on which should prevent newer versions
being used on an old m2 build.
> Make distinction between m2 and project plugins, and add

> Make a distinction between Maven dependencies and Project dependencies.
> Maven core deps are already in the maven dir; everything that those depend
> on, like plugins and their dependencies,
> are 'maven dependencies', needed to build the project.
> The project itself also has dependencies, those are the project dependencies
> (doh!)
> I've had almost daily problems here using a bootstrapped snapshot m2, because
> dependencies
> of m2 (like plexus-compiler-*) were updated, and these updates broke the
> compiler-plugin, requiring
> a new bootstrap.
> I'd like to be able to tell m2 NOT to update snapshots, be it m2 snapshots,
> project snapshots, or in general (both).
> Offline mode doesn't cover this - it will also not download releases.
