ous-integration-situation-to-install-versione
--
We are in the process of converting our main build process from ant to
maven. We use TeamCity for our Continuous Integration server (CI).
We'd like to use the CI server to kick off (nightly) builds whose version
contain a build number, as in 1.0.0.build#. These builds would be installed
in our local maven repository to be used by other projects. So the CI server
would manage the versions, maven would build the project, and the maven
repository would make the builds accessible to other projects.
I intended to initiate the build from the CI server using the following
command:
mvn -Dversion=1.0.0.25 install
The project's pom would have a bogus version number, and the -D flag would
override it, as in:
<version>0.0.0.0</version>
The problem with this method is that the maven install plugin only uses the
version in the pom file, not the version passed in on the command line. This
is noted in [this maven issue][1].
So since this issue has existed since 08/2006 and has not been fixed, I
assume that this is somehow not '*the maven way*'. So my question is, how
can maven be used in a continuous integration situation to install versioned
artifacts in the repository?
