Re: Question on Managing Maven Snapshot Dependencies

[Chad Woolley]

Jeff,
Thanks for the response, I think this will work!  Just one thing, however.
I couldn't get it to work like you said with ${pom.setCurrentVersion(version)}
I had to do the following:
        <j:set property="currentVersion"
               target="${pom}"
               value="${anthill.version}"
               defaultValue="SNAPSHOT"
               />
Maybe there is an easier way, but I couldn't figure it out...
Also, I don't understand what you meant in step 2 by "constructed new artifact 
names".  Why is this necessary?

Thanks again!

Hi Chad. What I did was add a custom goal uses the version number
passed in my Anthill, since that is what Anthill uses when tagging the
source code. In particular I:
1. Defined my project's version as SNAPSHOT in project.xml
2. Constructed new artifact names using the 'version' property passed
   in by Anthill
3. Attained xxx:deploy
4. Changed the version number: ${pom.setCurrentVersion(version)}
5. Used <artifact:deploy> to deploy using the new version number
So in our company repo we end up with a project-1.2.3.jar and a
project-SNAPSHOT.jar, for example.

Hi,

We are setting up Maven with our Continous Integration process (Anthill 
Pro), to manage several dependent projects, and want to use SNAPSHOT 
dependencies.

I understand how snapshot dependencies work, and convert-snapshots, but 
I have some questions/concerns.

We want to be able to tag the version of the snapshot, so the 
corresponding source can be checked out at a later date.

However, AnthillPro must know the string to tag with before it invokes a 
build.

I could run two subsequent goals, and maybe trick anthill into using the 
generated timestamp to tag the project.  Unfortunately, I don't know how 
to obtain a handle on the generated snapshot timestamp in an automated way.

Has anyone else resolved this problem?  Am I approaching it the wrong way?

Thanks,
Chad
