I suggest you read up on maven release plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/introduction.html I don't use it any differently then the official usage. The plugin doesn't generate a pom file but rather modifies the existing pom file with a new version and checks in CVS with proper CVS tagging.
Im not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish with your tool, it looks like you may try to replicate what maven already offers with their release plugin. Then why not find a way to leverage the plugin itself ? ________________________________ From: Mikel Cármenes Cavia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 18/06/2008 9:52 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Use Maven2 to build from a CVS tag I'm developing a tool that among other things, allows for the user to pick a CVS version and build it with maven (this is part of the process anyways). While I have not got as far as you seem to be yet, I do not know of any automated way to do this. Could you elaborate on how you use the maven release plugin? Does it generate a pom file by itself? I have successfully mavenized the file system, so that dependencies reside inside of the resources folder and the code is in its right place, however I haven't yet figured out how to go about generating a pom file to feed maven with all the correct dependencies in it, keeping in mind inter-dependence and whatnot (such that things aren't listed multiple times..)
