After years of being frustrated by the maven-release-plugin, perl, Expect
and writing post-branch & post-release scripts that "fix" poms, I have
endeavored to model my release process with the maven-release-plugin in
--batch mode & the versions plugin 2.1.
I have run into a snag that is probably related more to our process than
the plugin.
I will attempt to outline it:
1. we branch trunk, say 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT to 1.4.x
1. I can't find a way to update a dependency SNAP to the next
1.5.0-SNAP in my trunk with mvn:versions; I tried use-next-snapshots &
use-latest-snapshots and mvn keeps printing "Incremental version
changes allowed"
1. nothing goes from SNAP to SNAP !?!?!?!
2. apparently. no SNAP to SNAP here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/examples/advancing-dependency-versions.html
2. we release 1.4.0 from 1.4.x
1. I haven't got this far yet.
I am also trying to get all of this into generated jenkins jobs using
job-dsl-plugin!
After branching, how can I get SNAP deps to increment the minor version ?
Thanks,
James
