Ivan commented on MNG-5085: --------------------------- Yes, this is already what we are doing. A given developer wants to improve the plugin A which depends on the Core. He create a branch with that plugin only. (Branching all projects should not be necessary in my opinion) In its workspace he has only the plugin A and the "main" project (top parent project which reference all the modules and the assembly). If he wants to compile it, no problem, the Core is resolved as jar-artifacts and retrieved from the maven repository.(local or remote) Now if he wants someone to test its modifications before requesting integration to the trunk. He has to generate a testable version. That's were he needs to trigger the "main" project which has a reference on all modules and does the assembly part. > Right now it will fail unless he checkout the other modules I'm not sure of how you think I can "workaround" that with hudson: > Checkout every modules from Trunk except the ones that are in developer's > branch > Run mvn package on the main project which will trigger ALL the submodules > Add a CLI option to ignore missing modules > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-5085 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5085 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Reactor and workspace > Reporter: Stephan Pauxberger > > Using SVN for a rather big project, we tend to use SVN sparse checkouts, i.e. > we do not checkout the whole project. Example: > Full Project (as in Repository): > Parent > pom.xml (contains A and B as modules) > --> A > pom.xml > --> B > pom.xml > Now, do a checkout (svn co xxx --depth children; svn update --set-depth > inifity A) > Working Copy: > Parent > pom.xml (contains A and B as modules) > --> A > pom.xml > --> B (no pom!!, since we only did a sparse checkout) > Now, this setup is not buildable, since maven complains (rightfully) about a > missing pom for B. > What I propose is an option to change this behaviour with a command-line > option (-imm, --ignore-missing-modules) that would simply ignore missing > modules during pom resolution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
