pom.xml that inherit version from parent show up in reports as "has an invalid
project model"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRM-620
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-620
Project: Archiva
Issue Type: Bug
Components: reporting
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: James MacDonald
Priority: Minor
Maven2 allows child modules to inherit the <version> tag from a parent. When
Archiva sees an empty or nonexistent version tag in the uploaded pom.xml, it
thinks that the pom.xml version does not match the artifacts filename, which is
true, but is a completely valid scenario. As far as I can tell, there is no
requirement to have a version tag in a child module of a parent.
Perhaps Archiva should be looking inside the artifact itself under
META-INF/pom.properties to verify the artifacts file name against the version.
There is always a version number inside the artifacts pom.properties, but not
always in the pom.xml. Perhaps a combination of the pom.xml having a parent
tag, and no version information tells Archiva to not consider this an error.
Here is an example of an error generated in reports:
File workflow-core-common-1.0.1-rc1.pom has an invalid project model
[groupId:com.tomax.infrastructure.foo|artifactId:foo-core-common|version:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT|packaging:null];
The model version [1.0.1-SNAPSHOT] does not match the version portion of the
filename: 1.0.1-rc1
I looked at the artifact it complained about, and the pom.xml has not version
tag by design as it is inherited. I don't think this should be an error.
Perhaps Archiva should not produce this error if the version tag does not exist
in the pom.xml and there is a parent tag present? As far as I can tell, not
having a version tag is completely valid in maven2 as long as parent
inheritence provides the version.
