Hi everyone,
I'd like to make sure we're all on the same page with the plugin
auto-version resolution stuff that we've been discussing lately (on the
assembly-plugin vote thread, for one thing). I think it's clear that we
cannot continue to allow Maven to resolve RELEASE or LATEST meta-versions
for plugins any more. I'd actually argue that this is bad practice for ANY
artifact that is to be resolved, including site skins, etc. since it kills
our ability to deprecate features.
Coming back to this topic.
One of the good thing that we might lose is the fact that less people
would test new releases. Regression would then take more time to get
caught.
Maybe there could be an easy way to let users use the latest ? maybe
something like
mvn -L ... ( L for latest)
that would ignore all specified versions, without requiring a POM
change ? Maybe too radical.
Cheers,
Jerome
