Besides "nearest" and "newest", we'll want a "fail" strategy, which
means fail the build on version conflict. (Currently I am
accomplishing this with a plugin I wrote, but it's better here).
Also, I need the flexibility to combine these strategies, e.g., using
a different strategy depending on the artifact name.
How does this look? Please comment or make suggestions to improve it.
<!-- Maven will use the last strategy that matches the conditions -->
<dependencyMediationManagement>
<!-- use "nearest definition" by default -->
<!-- this section isn't needed; it exists implicitly for backwards
compatibility -->
<mediation>
<strategy>nearest</strategy>
</mediation>
<!-- override default behavior; we normally want to fail on version
conflict -->
<mediation>
<strategy>fail</strategy>
</mediation>
<!-- we want these components to use newest version instead of failing -->
<mediation>
<strategy>newest</strategy>
<condition>
<groupRegex>^ad\.</groupRegex>
<artifactRegex>(-types|-enums)$</artifactRegex>
<versionMatch>3</versionMatch> <!-- First 3 parts of version
must match -->
</condition>
</mediation>
</dependencyMediationManagement>
The rules in the <condition> tag are AND-ed (i.e., they have to all
match in order for it to employ the specified strategy).
Multiple <condition> tags are OR-ed together (i.e., if any condition
matches, employ the strategy).
Thanks,
Phillip
