Max Bowsher commented on MECLIPSE-120: -------------------------------------- I'm not sure that MECLIPSE-344 really addresses this use-case - if I'm reading it right, the MECLIPSE-344 changes allow connecting project dependencies to projects already in the workspace. This use-case, though, is about constructing set of project files that refer to each other as dependencies, before they are imported into the workspace. IIUC, the MECLIPSE-344 feature would allow this to be approximated by (1) doing normal eclipse:eclipse (2) importing the projects (3) redoing eclipse:eclipse in MECLIPSE-344 mode. A bit inelegant. Also, ideally it should be possible to use this feature without having to specify the path to your eclipse workspace on the command line. Therefore I think it is inaccurate to resolve this issue as a duplicate of MECLIPSE-344 - it's just loosely related. I think there is value in implementing this feature as described above alongside the MECLIPSE-344 feature. > Force inter-project dependencies > -------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-120 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-120 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Multi-projects > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Assignee: Arnaud Heritier > Fix For: 2.5 > > > In a multi-module setup, the dependencies between the projects are only > created, if the project's version match the one of the referenced artfiact. > After a release this is normally no longer the case if you have modules with > independent release cycles. Therefore it would be good, if the plugin could > be forced with an option (e.g. -forceSnapshot) to use a dependency to a > module's project with a snapshot version instead of a dependency to the > released artifact in the local repository. The plugin detects this situation > already, but logs just a warning. Without this feature, refactorings are > getting really tedious. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
