Hi,
I'm working on a script that will automatically release many artifacts. For
example I have 2 Maven projects (say A and B). B have a dependency on A. The
dependency version is expressed using a property (say ${A.version}).
In the SVN trunk, in B.pom, A.version=1-SNAPSHOT.
A and B are independent Maven modules (not multi-module).
Basically, the script is aware of the release order and will:
- svn checkout A
- mvn release:prepare release:perform -B -DreleaseVersion=1-RC1 (batch mode
so release version was a parameter of the script)
- svn checkout B
- update A dependency in B.pom to 1-RC1
- mvn release:prepare release:perform -B -DreleaseVersion=4-RC1
My question is: how can I update A dependency in B.pom? I tried to use
versions-maven-plugin but the plugin is too smart for my usage as it always try
to update to the latest released version. What I want is to be able to say:
"update property named A.version to value 1-RC1" even if A was already released
in version 2.
Do you know a way to do this?
Thanks,
Julien
