Hi all,
Well, I tried to find a clear title. But it wasn't so simple :-). So I'll
describe my question below.
This is more a best practice question than a feasibility one. In fact, we
already use but feel not sure if this is correct.
We have a multimodule project that contains some modules.
Something like :
multimodule project (with unique version for all artefacts parent and
children) :
parent-pom
project1/
project2/ (depends on project1)
project3/
project4/
...
Then we have projects that :
- use some of the projects above.
- always inherit the parent-pom above that defines a dependencyManagement
block
The question is :
Is there a problem to put project1, project2... in the parent-pom
dependencyManagement block of the parent-pom project ?
I think this could create kind of circularity (I know this is not a real
dependency). In fact, this would make project1,2... depend on parent-pom.
And in turn, parent-pom would kind of know those projects inside the depMgmt
block.
Do you see a problem doing that?
I hope I'm being clear.
Thanks for any answer.
Cheers.
