Release a project and all its snapshot dependencies, without an aggregator
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-688
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-688
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: perform, prepare
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Maxime Lemanissier
Hi all,
We are looking for a way to perform a release on a project and all its snapshot
dependencies (internal dependencies only).
Using a pom aggregator and ${project.version} in dependencyMgmt for all
internal dependencies allows such a release in "one click", but the drawback is
we have to regroup projects within this aggregator, according to the dependency
graph.
We would like to be able to do the same thing, but without having to use an
aggregator, that in some way add another link between projects than their
dependencies.
The process would be the same than with an aggregator, but instead of building
a maven reactor with modules, it would be done among snapshot dependencies.
Scm element is set in each dependency's pom, so maven-release-plugin could find
where sources are, and release them.
Could maven-release-plugin manage this with a new parameter ?
(releaseSnapshotDependencies=true for example)
We already had some posts here:

Thx
