I have a software system that consists of multiple Java components. I am currently using Ivy to manage the inter-dependencies by having each project publish an integration build with the version SNAPSHOT. Internal dependencies are defined by depending on revision="latest.integration". Then I use ivy:cachepath to order them appropriately and build the entire system. That has been working great. Each component builds and publishes itself as SNAPSHOT and then the next one picks up that dependency. But now I'm at a point where I want to publish everything as a release with version 1.0. Each Java component needs to be published as release version 1.0 and depend on version 1.0 of the others. What is the easiest way to make each project publish itself as a release version and update its own dependencies on the other components to 1.0 as well?
Do I really have to go through and change every ivy.xml file (there are 40) or is there a process for taking a full system from integration to release? Thanks, -- tBs
