Variables in the version element in pom.xml need to be expanded before
deployment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEPLOY-94
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEPLOY-94
Project: Maven 2.x Deploy Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Brian Jackson
We use an external tool to manage our releases (instead of
maven-release-plugin). The version in our pom.xml is declared as:
<version>${build.number}</version>
The actual version number is passed in during a release deployment on the
command line "mvn deploy -Dbuild.number=1.2.3"
The pom.xml is deployed literally without the variable replaced with the actual
value. This causes problems, in particular multi-module releases are
impossible since the parent pom can't be resolved properly as well as this
issue with Nexus https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-1552
I started digging into the code and see deployment is deferred to the
DefaultArtifactDeployer
http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/artifact/deployer/DefaultArtifactDeployer.html
Can I somehow install a custom ArtifactTransformation that expands these
variables before deployment? How would I install it in my builds? Would I
build it as a Plexus component and add it as a plugin dependency of
maven-deploy-plugin? If someone could give me a little guidance I'd be happy
to implement it, test it and submit a patch.
