-----------------------------------------
Summary: release:prepare allows SNAPSHOT Plugin Dependencies
Key: MRELEASE-833
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-833
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.4
Environment: Maven 2.2.1
Reporter: Chris Kreussling
When a Plugin Dependency references a SNAPSHOT version, release:prepare doesn't
flag it. This allows a POM with SNAPSHOT dependencies on Plugins to be released.
Example: This uses the FindBugs Plugin as an example, because that's what
tripped us up. release:prepare didn't catch this. I suspect the same problem
will occur for any Plugin Dependency that relies on a SNAPSHOT.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.example</groupId>
<artifactId>my-findbugs-filters</artifactId>
<version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<includeFilterFile>include.xml</includeFilterFile>
<excludeFilterFile>exclude.xml</excludeFilterFile>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Circumvention: Duplicating the Plugin Dependency as an explicit dependency in
the POM forces release:prepare to catch the problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.example</groupId>
<artifactId>my-findbugs-filters</artifactId>
<version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
