Hi all,
I already posted this on the users list some weeks ago, but got no
answer, so I'm asking here.
I'm writing a Maven plugin in which I'm using Artifact.getVersion on
dependencies. When applied to a dependency which is a snapshot,
sometimes the returned version is 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT (which is the version
declared both in the dependency in the pom and in the version of the
artifact pom), other times it returns the complete snapshot version,
like 0.0.1-20090107-etcetc . Since this behavior is not consistent, I
think it is related to some kind of "timeout". When the snapshot is
timed out (and maven checks the repository for new versions) then
getVersion returns the timestamped version, otherwise it returns the
0.0.1-SNAPSHOT version.
Since I'm generating some files based on the artifact group, name AND
version, this random behavior causes malfunctions.
Is there a way to always retrieve either the generic "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" or
the "0.0.1-etcetc" version? I can see a number of getXVersion methods on
Artifact, but have no idea which one will remain stable, are them
documented somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Simone
