When B is built > in isolation, all things are fine - but when built in aggregation, one of the > plugins that it uses has already been instantiated, and so it uses that one. > This is incorrect, since the declared version is different in B, and is > relying on functionality not present in the version declared in A. > I have seen similar behaviour when a plugin relies on other plugins to get > work done - all of a sudden a build mysteriously stops working, because of a > completely unrelated plugin. > This is pretty painful because > - it's possible to get into a 'no solution', where one project relies on one > behaviour so can't upgrade, and one project relies on new behaviour, so can't > downgrade. > - you get builds that work OK in isolation, but not in their project. This is > bad. Also builds tied together in bigger aggregator projects can fail in > mysterious ways (mysterious because the user /has/ specified the plugin > version, and maven has ignored them, or it's a plugin dependency that got > there first) > - subtle build ordering changes can cause new failures (the example has B > depend on A - but the bug might only manifest itself in certain build orders > that change even when B and A don't). -- 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
