Paul Gier commented on MRELEASE-317: ------------------------------------ I wasn't able to reproduce this. I tried it with a simple project that depends on a SNAPSHOT version of a separate parent, and the release plugin would not allow me to release due to the snapshot dependency. Can you provide more information and/or a sample project for this? > release:prepare should fail if any pom depends on SNAPSHOT parent > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-317 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-317 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: maven-2.0.8 > java-1.6 > Reporter: Petr Kozelka > Priority: Critical > > Currently the release plugin happily releases a pom that declares a SNAPSHOT > version of parent. > Such a release is exposed to a danger of irreproducibility: > 1.) on another machine > 2.) at another time (parent may significantly change in the meantime) > While it can be sometimes convenient, it is, as I am quite sure, a bad > behavior. -- 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
