I have a multi-module project where some of my modules don't have parents referenced.
if I change to the directory of that module and then run: mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=5.1.508 I get an exception (see below). It seems to construct the path wrong. It uses the name of the submodule twice (you can see in the path below). I think this is a bug... I think the issue is that I don't have it setup as a normal submodule with a referenced <parent> This has worked in the past and I think it's a supported configuration. For now I'm just using search/replace to bump my module versions but it's somewhat annoying. Is there a workaround or is this just a bug? java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/burton/projects/parent_module/submodule/submodule (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138) at org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.XmlReader.<init>(XmlReader.java:124) at org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.XmlStreamReader.<init>(XmlStreamReader.java:67) at org.codehaus.plexus.util.ReaderFactory.newXmlReader(ReaderFactory.java:118) at org.codehaus.mojo.versions.api.PomHelper.readXmlFile(PomHelper.java:1613) at org.codehaus.mojo.versions.AbstractVersionsUpdaterMojo.process(AbstractVersionsUpdaterMojo.java:319) at org.codehaus.mojo.versions.SetMojo.execute(SetMojo.java:251) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:134) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:208) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:153) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:145) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:116) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:80) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.builder.singlethreaded.SingleThreadedBuilder.build(SingleThreadedBuilder.java:51) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.execute(LifecycleStarter.java:128) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:307) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:193) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.execute(DefaultMaven.java:106) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.execute(MavenCli.java:862) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.doMain(MavenCli.java:286) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:197) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:497) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java:289) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:229) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:415) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:356) -- We’re hiring if you know of any awesome Java Devops or Linux Operations Engineers!
