Hi all, What's the maven way to allow to build individual modules and ensure that changes to parent pom are uploaded into the local repository
Let's say I have three modules: one parent, two children (dbmod, appmod) parent: dependencyManagement defines jdbc-foo 1.5 dbmod: dependencies defines jdbc-foo getting version from parent appmod: depens on dbmod I build from parent getting parent-pom with jdbc-foo 1.5, dbmod using jdbc-foo 1.5 and appmod. I update source control and parent pom changes to jdbc-foo 1.6 I build in dbmod directory I build in appmod directory appmod fetches dbmod from local repository and uses local repo version of parent pom maven issues: "[WARNING] The POM for ...dbmod:jar:3.5.0-SNAPSHOT is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available: 1 problem was encountered while building the effective model for dbmod:3.5.0-SNAPSHOT" compilation fails because my code relied on access to jdbc-foo 1.6 changes I can resolve the problem these way: If I install the parent pom file manually the problem, (mvn install-file ...) If I build from the parent (if I have 80+ modules, this isn't ideal) if I build from the parent selecting the desired project and using also-make (mvn -am -pl :appmod ...) If there a config setting that would force parent install other than "-am pl :mod" or is this the "maven way" to handle the situation?
