Hi, Currently the maven.jar.override property assumes that you are going to provide the full path to a JAR for a project artifact that you want to use in place of the artifact declared in the POM. So, for example:
maven.jar.commons-beanutils = /path/to/beanutils.jar Means the /path/to/beanutils.jar will be used instead of the version of beanutils specified in any given POM. I would like to make an addition where you could specify this: maven.jar.commons-beanutils = 1.4 So that the JAR will be take from the maven local repository, but a specific version will be used. So if you are performing a reactor build for a large project and you want to make sure that you are using version 1.4 of beanutils for everything then you can do the above. I would also like the ability to search for dependencies specified in this manner. So if you don't have a dependency on beanutils version 1.4 stated anywhere it will be pulled down before you start trying to build. I'm just trying to perform a large build and all I really need is to specify a specific version, I don't need to specify a direct path. Anyone object or have any other thoughts? -- jvz.
