this would be perfect, because now i did how it was recommended, but: 1. modified the parent trunk to snapshot. 2. did a release of the company pom. Released highest version is now 1.1 3. modified the first child in the chain:
<parent> <groupId>eds</groupId> <artifactId>eds</artifactId> <version>LATEST</version> <--- changed, LASTEST is 1.1 (currently highest version number of parent) </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>eds.tweb</groupId> <artifactId>tweb</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>tweb</name> 4. install/deploy or release-prepare are all failing with following error: [ERROR] FATAL ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). Project ID: eds.tweb:tweb:pom:1.1-SNAPSHOT Reason: Cannot find parent: eds:eds for project: eds.tweb:tweb:pom:1.1-SNAPSHOT for project eds.tweb:tweb:pom:1.1-SNAPSHOT In this case i would expect that it would take version 1.1 of the parent pom. brgds Dominique -----Original Message----- From: Nick Stolwijk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 11:21 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: How to deploy corporate-pom? I was also thinking, that you could write a custom rule for the enforcer plugin, which checks that the topmost parent is the latest in the available repositories. Maybe I will write it tomorrow, if you are interested. Hth, Nick Stolwijk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Couldn't you put the version of the parent (corporate-pom) to LATEST instead of a version number.
