I have advanced the PoC a bit more by adding an experiments mechanism. To use the dynamic phases PoC you now need to:
1. Build and install Maven on the branch 2. Add the experiments extension in .mvn/extensions.xml, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/core-extensions-1.0.0.xsd"> <extension> <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-experiments</artifactId> <version>3.7.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </extension> </extensions> 3. Update your pom to use the new dynamic phases. The reason for the experiments extension is to guard against assuming the phases will work and prevent "normal" versions of Maven from producing a bad build. Here's a build with the extension enabled: [INFO] Enabling experimental features of Maven 3.7.0-SNAPSHOT [INFO] Experimental features enabled: [INFO] * dynamic-phases [INFO] Scanning for projects...

error message nicer, but I'll need to dig further into Sisu. In any case it has the desired effect of preventing building a project that uses the experiment with a version of Maven that does not support the experimental features. The main point of experiments is to provide a way for people to try out a feature *that requires adapting your project to use that feature* in a safe way that prevents users from accidentally building with a different version of Maven. My goal would be to maybe release a 3.7.0-alpha-rfc-dynamic-phases-1 build of Maven with this experiment turned on to gather wider feedback. Anyone using the feature would then be fully aware that the experiment may end up different when we actually decide what we want to do, but can then easily try it out without a big song and dance. NOTE: the pom rewriting that Robert has scheduled for 3.7.0 is IMHO not appropriate for this kind of experiment as it doesn't affect the actual build behaviour. If we have implemented pom rewriting correctly, users should not notice and shouldn't need to update their pom. Dynamic phases does require the pom to be updated, hence why it needs a more heavy-handed enforcement through extensions (also the enforcer plugin wouldn't guarantee execution on all lifecycles, so if you did something in after:clean enforcer wouldn't have run) -Stephen On Fri, 15 Nov 2019 at 21:16, Stephen Connolly < stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Fri 15 Nov 2019 at 15:18, Robert Scholte <rfscho...@apache.org> wrote: > >> I have to admit that when trying to figure out from a Maven perspective >> it felt like post-X should be called with pre-X too, but that opinion has >> changed. >> Why would anybody call pre-X?
