Alex lewis created MWAR-428: ------------------------------- Summary: Clean required when dependencies are updated Key: MWAR-428 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-428 Project: Maven WAR Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.3 Reporter: Alex lewis
A {{mvn clean}} is required when a dependency version is updated in a war project pom file; otherwise, both the old and new version of the dependency will appear in the lib directory of the war. Steps to recreate: # Create simple war project with 1 or more dependencies. # {{mvn clean package}} # List library jar files in {{target/<war>/lib}}. # Update a dependency version in pom.xml # {{mvn package}} (note: no {{clean}}). # List library jar files in {{target/<war>/lib}}. ** At this point the lib folder will contain both versions of the dependency. Expected: A {{clean}} should not required when dependency versions are updated; {{mvn package}} should be sufficient. This expectation is somewhat driven by recent comments [~rfscholte] has made more recently regarding the unnecessary use of "clean". -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
