Thanks Thorsten and Ron,
Some additional background:
We're a team of about 25 developers, and 100 projects/modules. All developers
are familiar with the whole suite of apps, and move freely between projects.
They want to be able to work on several projects locally without taking in
unwanted -SNAPSHOT changes from our repo (Artifactory).
In our case, developers simply want to build apps together (usually two or
three together depending on the scope of the development task) to ensure the
build accurately reflects the code checked out in the developer's workspace.
We have Jenkins, which builds our projects on SCM commit, and builds
dependents. This isn't applicable for individual developer workspace builds.
Ron - the burden of checking out the whole workspace isn't a big deal for us,
and we still peg individual dependencies to release versions as necessary. My
original question concerned workspace builds where we intend to use limited
number of -SNAPSHOT dependencies to trigger a selectively-recursive build
across multiple projects.
I am currently building a plugin maven-r-plugin which internally uses
Maven.execute(MavenExecutionResult) and a file-based index of in-house
artifacts to prototype a solution to this problem. Suggestions of better
solutions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Chris
