Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-3782: ------------------------------------ I don't think this is even a good idea. Beyond your project, or reactor, influencing variable interpolation in transitive projects is probably not something we want to allow. > [regression] Variable substition not performed in transitive dependency using > value from active profile > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3782 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3782 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-1 > Environment: Java version: 1.6.0_07 > OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" > Reporter: Robert Varttinen > Fix For: 3.0-alpha-3 > > Attachments: build.log, example.zip, MavenCli.java, > MyEclipseArtifactResolver.zip, settings.xml > > > When invoking the 'mvn compile' command and a profile is active, defined in > settings.xml, a variable substitution is not performed in a transitive > dependency. > In the example provided the project to be built, C, depends on B which in its > turn depends on A. The versions of B and A to be used are defined in a > profile, the POM-files defines a variable indicating the versions. The > profile in question is defined in the settings.xml and is always active > (check with command 'mvn help:active-profiles'). The results of project A and > B are successfully built and installed in the local repository. > Invoking a build for project C using a command line parameter indicating, > 'mvn compile -Dparentversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT, the versions render a successful > build. The transitive dependency is resolved correctly. > This problem is also visible in Eclipse, m2eclipse, as the project C in the > example provided, does not build (error indication). The example provided > includes Eclipse projects displaying this (version 0.9.7.20081001-2217 of the > Eclipse plugin is used). > The settings.xml and a build log are provided as attachments to this issue. -- 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
