First I want to say, I hope this is not the wrong mailing list for this question / comment, but my intent is to apply a feature patch based on suggestions. I've scoured the maven site but didn't want to open up Jira features when not necessary.
I have a requirement for a project for our team to perform the following: scan all project (and sub poms) for "Company" specific dependencies added specifying a version - versions should only be specified in dependencyManagement sections. Fail if we find specific versions explicitly defined. This initially feels like a feature for the mvn release plugin. I've searched this code and feel I could implement this feature and submit a patch. Also, I've considering using the custom rule for maven enforcer plugin. http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-api/writing-a-custom-rule.html Basically searching for a groupId and checking if a version is explicitly defined: <dependency> <groupId>my.company</groupId> <artifactId>mybjc-services-proxy</artifactId> <version>1.1.0.11-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> Acceptable options: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>my.company</groupId> <artifactId>mybjc-services-proxy</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> Right now, this is a manual process with the aid of a shell script / jar that searches for this, but we want to create a mojo / plugin for this. I'd like to contribute my work to an open solution. Thoughts or suggestions. I'd be glad to contribute a patch in the right place if everyone feels this is a solution that can be shared. Thanks, Nick
