Attached mojos with the @aggregator tag can yield bad results in a multi-module project ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2028 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2028 Project: Maven 2 Type: Bug Components: Plugins and Lifecycle Versions: 2.0.2 Reporter: John Didion I am using an attached version of the directory assembly plugin. I also have a multi-module project that is several levels deep. Here's an overview myproject tools libraries library1 library2 library3 If I configure the attached directory assembly plugin in library1's POM and then run maven install from the myproject directory, I get errors about dependency resolution because the presence of the @aggregator tag causes maven to try and resolve dependencies for all modules in the entire project. That means it's trying to resolve dependencies for library3, which is a problem if library3 depends on library2, which hasn't been built yet. It makes sense to me that dependency resolution should only happen on the sub-modules of the POM that configures the aggregator plugin, not all modules in the project. If this makes sense then I think the fix would be in DefaultPluginManager.executeMojo(): if ( mojoDescriptor.isDependencyResolutionRequired() != null ) { Collection projects; if ( mojoDescriptor.isAggregator() && project.getModules() != null && !project.getModules().isEmpty()) { List modules = project.getModules(); projects = new ArrayList(modules.size()); for (Iterator itr = modules.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) { String module = (String) itr.next(); MavenProject moduleProject = // load the project for the module...don't know exactly how to do this projects.add(moduleProject); } } ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
