No. That's no good. I want to be able to do this without people having to modify their poms to work with this scheme.
The rewrite poms version would scan through the reactor projects, and wherever a reactor project depends on a (different version) of another reactor project, it would force the versions to match... so if there is a dependencyManagement section in a parent pom that's in the reactor, it will modify that so that the version is the version from the reactor. If there are no dependencyManagement sections, it will modify the dependency sections directly... or perhaps add dependencyManagement sections to the appropriate parent poms. Remember that all these projects are only in the reactor because of an aggregator pom. They do not necessarily share a common parent pom. What I'd also like is the ability to do these changes _on the fly_ without modifying the pom files on disk, for the current run of maven... so that I can proof the changes before writing to disk... this could be necessary for performing an uber-suite release. -Stephen On Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 1:18 AM, Ralph Goers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > > Stephen Connolly wrote: > >> >> Questions: >> >> Is there any way to modify the pom at run time to alter the versions of >> dependencies *before* the dependencies have been resolved?
