Dear All, We have a project which is an assembly of other projects. At present the versions of these projects is set in individual POM files which means (A) Someone can set one part to use one version of a sub-project while another uses a different one (B) If you want to upgrade a version number you have to run a script which goes through all pom.xml looking for a string/pattern & settign it to the new version etc.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a controller pom which contains a list of all projects which are used by other projects and their version numbers. This would then be used by the compile process for those subprojects to generate the relevantly versioned jar files & then by the projects which depend on the subfiles to use that version. In Ant we used to have a central properties file which simply consisted of project=version & which was included by all. i.e. imagine a set of Projects called A, B, C and D In the properties file we would have A=1.38 B=2.30 C=1.99 D=2.50 This could then be used to swap between development & release by including/rmoving the -SNAPSHOT e.g. Development could look like: A=1.38-SNAPSHOT B=2.30-SNAPSHOT C=1.99-SNAPSHOT D=2.50-SNAPSHOT This is used in the compilation/packaging of A in A-1.38-SNAPSHOT.jar & then if B depends on A then it includes A-1.38-SNAPSHOT.jar in it's path. etc. TIA Adam ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
