Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-5576: ------------------------------------ I mean more that once you have built it there is no rebuild. More akin to having used a snapshot and then turned it into a release artifact. Essentially you build a stream of binaries and then select one based on its merit. At that point you don't rebuild it. This is not really how Maven currently works. > 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 > Fix For: 3.2.1 > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
