             Summary: Allow continuous delivery friendly versions
                 Key: MNG-5576
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5576
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
            Reporter: Jason van Zyl


Currently warnings will be emitted when there are expressions in versions, a 
few exceptions should be deemed valid to make continuous delivery easier. The 
use case is to allow easy versioning of an entire multi-module build that can 
take a version from an external source like SCM. These are the types of 
exceptions that will be allowed:

1.0.0.${changelist}
1.0.0.${revision}
1.0.0.${sha1}

When a whole build is versioned like this we can avoid churning the POMs in the 
SCM which makes it a lot easier to see the actual changes in the project. Not a 
complete solution for continuous delivery but is a step in the right direction 
and doesn't interfere with currently behavior as it is currently allowed, just 
warned against.
