Brill Pappin commented on MRESOURCES-61:
----------------------------------------
I'm not saying its a bad idea (in fact I think it might be a good one). however
its more complicated than that... for instance I *do* want reproducible builds,
however the plugin should fix problems it has... otherwise the build is only as
reproducible as the bug I worked around.
Reproducible means to me that my code compiles, tests and packages as expected
the same way, every time, not that the resources plugin uses a different route
to do what it needs to do (if thats the case, I've written some very poor code
indeed).
Maybe the answer is to have maven warn when it detects an update and give you
the option of installing... I don't know... however thats not the issues here,
this is not MNG-3395.
As for Maven locking down versions, it should have at least shipped with
released versions of plugins... which apparently the resources plugin was not.
What I am saying:
a) i shouldn't have to worry about the resources plugin failing my build or not.
b) even if I don't specifically lock down, i still shouldn't get the error I
have been getting.
c) all other plugins work without all that noise, including third party plugins
(and my own plugins).
I can't tell from my perspective if its an issue with maven dependency system
or the resources plugin descriptor (which is what the error is) however,
regardless of how I use it, there is still something that the developers of the
resources plugin need to address.
