Hi, I need to figure out a way to repackage a webapp and all it's dependencies in java5. Currently in 1.6.
We use a parent pom that all dep and webapp use. I've never needed an aggregator pom up to now, as we work and release each dependency as needed. It seems obviously a good option now that I have to recompile everything with JDK1.5. The jar plugin configuration is in the parent pom, and it specifies the source and target version, as well as the classifier. Ideally, I would like to keep the parent as it is, and modify the jar plugin settings in the aggregator, which will be a child of the parent as well. The problem is that the jar dependencies don't seem to inherit the jar plugin properties from the aggregator. To makes things clearer: all-parent | new-jdk1.5-aggregator | | | dep1 dep2 depX It seems a perfect place to introduce a new behavior while keeping the whole organization identical. As I can't get it to work, I've started to fork Jar dep project one by one, and add a local jar plugin config. Ideas on how to do that would be very welcome! The goal is to minimize changes on the existing structure. I'm considering adding another intermediary parent pom, (something like all-parent-jdk1.5) to see if it would propagate the jar plugin config as expected. cheers /nodje -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Need-help-to-find-best-way-to-recompile-complete-project-and-dep-with-1-5-tp4413579p4413579.html Sent from the maven users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
