Re: Best practice for handling multi-modules version numbers
Hey Mick,
I have found that what you list under depedencyManagement in parent pom
has to match exactly was is in the module pom. For example if the module
pom contains a packaging tag you have to include that in the parent pom
with the type tag. I ran into this problem with ejbs.
Parent Pom

Subject: Re: Best practice for handling multi-modules version numbers
Are you referring to your module versions, or dependency versions?
I user properties spring.versionxyz
then add ${spring.version} to my dependencies in each of my modules.
For my modules, That is just manual labor for me.
Why do you add the version property to each of your modules?
We use a parent pom like below, where all the information of a
dependency is added to the dependencyManagement tag:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
project xmlns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xsi:schemaLocation=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd;
modelVersion4.0.0/modelVersion
groupIdbe.telenet/groupId
artifactIdmain/artifactId
packagingpom/packaging
version1.0-SNAPSHOT/version
nameMain Project/name

artifactIdjunit/artifactId
version${ver-junit}/version
scopetest/scope
/dependency
/dependencies
/dependencyManagement
properties
ver-junit3.8.1/ver-junit
/properties
/project
In the project POM's, I only use the groupId and artifactId of the
dependency. The rest is resolved via the information in the
dependencyManagement tag of the parent pom:
project xmlns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xsi:schemaLocation=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

Works like a charm!

Maven Install Plugin Overwrites Custom Artifact Names

Re: Compile issues after upgrading from Maven 2.0.6
Hi Everyone, I found the root of this problem. For some reason the ClassPath order changed in Maven 2.0.7 and Maven 2.0.8 and it exposed that an older version of the servlet-api code was being pulled as a dependency. In 2.0.7 and 2.0.8, the older version shows up first and causes the failure. It took me a little while to find this because the jars were not named the same.

Re: [m2] SSL certificate name does not match
Adrian,
I don't know if you have already done this or not but I wanted to tell you
anyway just in case. I have Java 1.5.0_12 installed on my machine. When it
was installed, it installed the JDK and JRE directories as listed below.
C:\jdk1.5.0_12
C:\jre1.5.0_12
I first copied the jssecacert file to the
C:\jre1.5.0_12\lib\securitydirectory but that didn't fix the problem.
I then copied the file to the
C:\jdk1.5.0_12\jre\lib\security directory and that worked. Again, this most
likely won't help but I wanted to post it just in case.

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked that blog; however the solution described there seems to
belong to other problem:
snip
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target
[This happens] when trying to open an SSL connection to a host using
JSSE. What this usually means is that the server is using a test
certificate (possibly generated using keytool) rather than a certificate
from a well known commercial Certification Authority such as Verisign or
GoDaddy. Web browsers display warning dialogs in this case, but since
JSSE cannot assume an interactive user is present it just throws an
exception by default.
/snip
Because I am somewhat desperate, I have tested that program. It seems to
do what the standard keytool does... I copied the generated jssecacert
file into my ${jre.home}/lib/security directory and hoped for the
best... But it didn't happen :-( I checked that the file was read using
a file monitor, and it was read.
It seems that the solution could only be provided by applications (
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#ciphersuitechoice
).
In this case, Maven should provide the option to override the default
host name checking algorithm with a do-nothing one.
Adrian.

I tried to play with the keytool program. I have imported the SSL

C:\Documents and Settings\me. I tried to run Maven and DAVExplorer;
their behavior did not change :-(
Now the weird things:
1. I have monitored the file access to the .keystore file. When I am
running keytool -list the .keystore file is accessed (seems like my
file
monitoring program works). When I am running Maven or DAVExplorer, the
.keystore file is not accessed at all!
2. Maven is able to upload files to my WebDAV server! If I am building

uploaded!!!
