I can’t “explain" the mvn behavior :-) But you can observe the result yourself:
- get the latest sample repo code on the develop branch - ./mvnw clean package # expect to fail because the pom is trying to use runtime version 1.2.0 - ./mvnw clean package -Dedgent.runtime.version=1.2.0-SNAPSHOT sample utils builds fine (using runtime 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT versions) samples apps then fails due to dependency confusion caused by property override behavior (trying to use 1.2.0): ... [ERROR] Path to dependency: [ERROR] 1) org.apache.edgent:edgent-samples-apps:jar:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT [ERROR] 2) org.apache.edgent:edgent-samples-utils:jar:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT [ERROR] 3) org.apache.edgent:edgent-utils-metrics:jar:1.2.0 <=== say what? All works fine if instead the edgent.runtime.version property in the top-level pom is edited to specify 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT > On Nov 22, 2017, at 12:21 PM, Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> > wrote: > > Hi Dale, > > Öhm … could you explain why?
