Re: Setting properties in pom.xml from command line

2011-04-15 Thread Benson Margulies
Anders,

What other suggestion do you have for testing that a something works
with multiple versions of something else?

I completely agree that running 'install' let alone 'deploy' with a
profile that changes a version is a really bad idea. But it's an
effective mechanism for compatibility testing.

 consider this dependency:

    
        
            mygroup
            myartifact
            ${mygroup-myartifact.version}
            war
        
    

 ${mygroup-myartifact.version} can of course be set in the
  tag,
 but I need to be able to change the version number without changing
 pom.xml.
 This should peferrably be done from command line - is there a way to set
 properties from commandline?

 Thanks,
 Geir

Yes, but I still don't think this is a good idea for dependencies. What will
happen is that the dependency declared in the pom being deploy is not what
was used during build. Can lead to strange things IMO.

Re: Setting properties in pom.xml from command line

2011-04-15 Thread Kristian Rosenvold


The trick is to give the artifact a *default* version in properties so 
you can override from the command line but still build without any 
command line options;



1.1



Then you can build with  -Dmygroup-myartifact.version=1.2-SNAPSHOT

Yes, it is. "-Dmygroup-myartifact.version=xxx"

However, for your example it would be a very bad thing as your pom will not
be consumable by any client.
