Do you mix the versions 1.4 and 1.5? I'm pretty sure we have some bugs around the release lifecycle in NPanday 1.5, though this one seems strange
But shouldn't maven resolve the project.version? @Brett, any idea? @Octavian: Could you provide a zip file (if your example project is real :-)) _ Lars -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Octavian [mailto:h.octav...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 27. November 2014 15:21 An: npanday-users@incubator.apache.org Betreff: Maven release gives error on multi-module project Hello again, I use org.apache.npanday.plugins:maven-compile-plugin:1.4.0-incubating and org.apache.npanday.plugins:maven-resgen-plugin:1.5.0-internal (I released locally the version 1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT) for my multi-module project. If I run "mvn clean install" it goes to success, but when I try to release with "mvn -Dresume=false -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DpreparationGoals="clean install" release:clean release:prepare release:perform" it fails at module B because it can't get the dependency module A. The compile plugin doesn't resolve Maven variables and it tries to download com.example:A:dll:${project.version} ex: Inside pom.xml from module B <dependency> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>A</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> <type>dll</type> </dependency> Why at install phase the NPanday compile plugin finds A dependency, but at release time it don't? Thanks, Octavian
