Federico, I'm aware of what it does... The question was regarding dependencies listed relative to a plugin.
Wayne, The problem with <pluginManagement> is that I don't necessarily want a dependency for every invocation of the pluign. For example, say that have a plugin that uses the jaxb api and I want to use jaxb in some situations and jaxme in others. They have the same api so it might be reasonable to want a plugin to execute using one implementation in some instances and the other implementation in another. Additionally, I'd like to standardize the versions in the same way as I would with a typical dependency, so that I always use jaxb whatever-jaxb-version and jaxme whatever-jaxme-version. My first thought is that a dependency that is listed under a plugin should also utilize <dependencyManagement>, but that seems to not be the case. And, since there's no <dependencyManagement> under <pluginManagement> I wondered whether this was intentional or an oversight. Thoughts? On 12/7/06, Federico Yankelevich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, dependencyManagement is inherited by children POMs. It is useful to define a dependency within dependencyManagement tag expliciting the version there. Then in the children POMs you can just declare your dependecy without having the version tag have a look here: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependency%20Management bye, Federico Gregory Kick-2 wrote: > > I have a question about the behavior of the <dependencyManagement> > portion of a POM as it relates to plugin dependencies. > > Say I have: > ... > <dependencyManagement> > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>GROUP</groupId> > <artifactId>ARTIFACT</artifactId> > </dependency> > </dependencies> > </dependencyManagement> > ... > > And in some project that inherits from this pom, > <plugin> > ... > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>GROUP</groupId> > <artifactId>ARTIFACT</artifactId> > </dependency> > <delendencies> > ... > </plugin> > will fail with a missing version. > > Is this the expected behavior or is this a bug? > > > -- > Gregory Kick > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/dependency-management-within-plugin-dependencies-tf2772190s177.html#a7735149 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
