Hi all, I wanna know the standard and the reasons behind it.
I want to find out if I should specify a version for a maven plugins, lets say maven-javadoc-plugin, or not to specify it and in which case the default one will be used. At this point, I don't specify versions I recently setup Nexus at my work and started seeing all these errors where Nexus wouldn't find snapshot version for plugins, maven-javadoc-plugin being one of them. The maven-javadoc-plugin is at 2.6.2-SNAPSHOT right now, but my settings.xml is not setup to take care of this scenario. It seems that I've to do what example 14.2 at this link: http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/trunk/org.maven.ide.eclipse.book/book/ch14s03.html says And in which case I've to use -Ppublic-snapshots flag during my packaging. Now what is the general standard in a case like this? I can easily do what the link above suggests or just specify a version. I've reservations with both of them and see advantages for both of them as well. What do the gurus suggest? :) Thanks -------------------------------------------- Shahzad Qureshi Systems Analyst/Programmer Applications Directorate | La direction générale des applications Chief Information Officer Branch | Direction générale du dirigeant principal de l'information Environment Canada | Environnement Canada [email protected] Telephone | Téléphone 416-739-4702 Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada Website | Site Web www.ec.gc.ca
