What I tend to favour is never publishing -SNAPSHOTs to remote repositories... on the basis that if it is good enough to be pushed to a remote repo, it is good enough to release ;-) I normally check out all the projects I am working on, create a local "aggregator" pom that just pulls all the different projects into one build. I then use a prototype extension I have for the versions maven plugin (*not released yet* as you really need to know its limits) mvn versions:link-from-reactor from that aggregator pom and that associates all the dependencies to the version in the reactor. Then "mvn clean install" and I am good to go with everything using the code I checked out. One of these days I will iron out the bugs in versions:link-from-reactor and release the code for it... but until then you will just have to dream! ;-) -Stephen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
