Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-5576: ------------------------------------------ You wrote from {{resolved project's}} where should it be defined ? There must be at least one location where it's need to be defined. So if you take a multi module build you can define it once in the root of that multi module build. In the child modules it might be implemented to accept {{project.version}}. So currently the {{revision}}, {{sha1}} and {{changelist}} is at the moment defined which means they are allowed to prevent emitting of warnings during the build and using special properties which can be defined from command line of from {{.mvn/maven.confg}} file...but this concepts can of course being improved so you just omit the {{project.version}} completely. My assumption about the implementation is simply to use properties instead doing much more complicated things..(For this you might better ask Jason van Zyl). > Allow continuous delivery friendly versions > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5576 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5576 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.1.1 > Reporter: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 3.2.1 > > > Currently warnings will be emitted when there are expressions in versions, a > few exceptions should be deemed valid to make continuous delivery easier. The > use case is to allow easy versioning of an entire multi-module build that can > take a version from an external source like SCM. These are the types of > exceptions that will be allowed: > 1.0.0.$\{changelist} > 1.0.0.$\{revision} > 1.0.0.$\{sha1} > When a whole build is versioned like this we can avoid churning the POMs in > the SCM which makes it a lot easier to see the actual changes in the project. > Not a complete solution for continuous delivery but is a step in the right > direction and doesn't interfere with currently behavior as it is currently > allowed, just warned against. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
