Axel Fontaine created MNG-5614:
----------------------------------
Summary: Continuous Delivery Friendly Versions not present in
installed artifacts
Key: MNG-5614
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5614
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.2.1
Reporter: Axel Fontaine
Consider a parent pom with these tags:
...
<version>${revision}</version>
...
<properties>
<revision>0-SNAPSHOT</revision>
</properties>
...
If I start the build with:
mvn install -Drevision=666
The revision gets replaced correctly at runtime (correct), but the placeholder
remains in the installed artifact in the local repository (wrong).
To make matters worse, if you have a Maven Plugin child module with these tags
in the pom:
...
<parent>
<groupId>com.boxfuse.client</groupId>
<artifactId>boxfuse-client</artifactId>
<version>${revision}</version>
</parent>
...
<packaging>maven-plugin</packaging>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>other-artifact</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Once the plugin gets used in yet another module, the resolution of
other-artifact will fail at runtime with:
Plugin ...:666 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not
find artifact ...:other-artifact:jar:0-SNAPSHOT
Until this is fixed the functionality provided by MNG-5576 is virtually useless.
By speaking about the fix, why bother with replacing variables? Why bother with
parent POMs? How about simply installing and deploying the effective POM? This
would solve a whole range of problems at once. And at the end of the day, this
will simplify many things, at the cost of slightly larger installed POMs.
