Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MENFORCER-190:
-----------------------------------------------
It was my first thought to create a enforcer rule of it. Maybe the idea is
wrong and i should go for a plugin...
I have several projects where i have the situation using an artifact in a
particular version let's say 1.0.5 which represents a product after several
changes. This project which uses this artifacts produces a kind of installer
to distribute to test/production department. If test is successful everything
is fine and done. But if there is bug found the artifact needs to be changed
which means 1.0.6 is created. And afterwards the installation projects needs
to be updated. So a developer sometimes missed to update the version within the
pom file to use the newest artifact which i could prevent via an enforcer rule
and let the build break, but of course this installation artifact can change
it's version from time to time if only some configuration files/properties
have been changed.
Apart from that the variant which Mirko describes came into my mind as well,
cause i'm faced with the same problems.
But now it sounds more and more like a separate plugin than an enforcer rule.
Thanks for your comments and ideas and hints.
