Dependency Management Wildcards
-------------------------------
Key: MNG-3633
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3633
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
Reporter: Geoffrey Wiseman
I'd love to have the option of wildcards in dependency management. When you're
working with a lot of dependencies that share a common version, it's really
irritating to have to add each one to the dependency management.
For instance:
{code:xml}
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-*</artifactId>
<version>2.5.4</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
{code}
Instead of:
{code:xml}
<properties>
<springVersion>2.5.4</springVersion>
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.feedroom.feedroom-commons</groupId>
<artifactId>common</artifactId>
<version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>${springVersion}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
<version>${springVersion}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
<version>${springVersion}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
<version>${springVersion}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>${springVersion}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
{code}
