Probably off topic as the issue is solved,
but wanted to share my experience with you, as I found myself in the same
need stated on the title of this thread.
__Problem:
- Due to an issue with the specific product I'm working on (Alfresco) for
which its Alfresco Module Packages (no more than a type of Zip for which I
defined a custom packaging type AMP) do not allow 'characters in the
versions',
- due to the fact I defined archetypes for AMP [3] packaging and want to use
the filtering and SNAPSHOT capabilities of maven (read: filter
${project.version} into the technology specific module.properties file)
I was unable to use SNAPSHOT versions in my AMP projects as they were
breaking the runtime configuration (as in issue [4]).
__Solution:
An aggregated use of the:
- maven-buildnumber-plugin (which pushes the ${buildNumber} variable in the
POM
- my homebrew 5 liner mojo (maven-nosnapshot-plugin in our repo here [2], as
trivial as non documented) which just strips out the '-SNAPSHOT ' part of
the version in case it exists and pushes it in the pom as
${noSnapshotVersion}
This way I could filter my module properties with something like:
module.version=${noSnapshotVersion}.$[buildNumber}
avoiding the Alfresco specific problem while still keeping incremental
versions (mimicking the SNAPSHOT behavior) of the modules during
development.
My 0.02€ (even if I admit that's a workaround ;)
Ciao!
