It sounds as though snapshot dependencies do pretty much exactly what you want. If you do 'maven jar:install-snapshot' it will create a timestamped build of the project (e.g. foo-20030717.153812.jar) and install it in the local repository. Other projects can then use <version>SNAPSHOT</version> in their dependencies to track the latest installed version of a project. -Mark. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
