So this ASSUMES that GWT will follow the x.y.z version pattern (and as we all know: assumption is the mother of all....).
I think there are two options: version could look like x.y.z.a, where 'a' is the plugin-version for GWT x.y.z, or x.y.z-mgwt-1.0 or something like that. The latter is always safe, but it'll result in an ugly version pattern and I hope Maven can handle such version (I believe so) - Robert From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 08:12:36 +0200 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mojo-dev] [Vote] [gwt] align gwt-maven releases with GWT ones GWT minor releases come often (more more often gwt-maven ones) For critical bugfix releases, we can release a <gwt version x.y.z>.fix release. Next GWT version is 2.1.0, and if we discover a critical bug we can release a 2.1.0.1. Considering two years of dev on this plugin, we can also wait for next gwt minor release that occured quicker than the time required for us to fix a bug :P 2010/9/1 Robert Scholte <[email protected]> I have my doubts... I don't know the amount of time it usualy takes before GWT comes with a new release, but if this takes too long, we might run into some trouble. What if we have bugfixes and new features on a already released version? Suppose we have GWT-2.1 and the gwt-m-p-2.1, should the fixed version be gwt-m-p-2.1.1? Gotcha!, because a week later GWT also discovered some serious issues and releases a 2.1.1 as well. Now both versions are out of sync again. It might sounds logic, but I think it would only work if GWT itself releases the maven plugin as part of a suite. Although the versions are pretty close to each other, I wouldn't try to follow the GWT-version. - Robert > From: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:59:16 +0200 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [mojo-dev] [Vote] [gwt] align gwt-maven releases with GWT ones > > +1 > > 2010/8/30 nicolas de loof <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > With many API and options changes between GWT releases, the plugin gets more > > complex any time Google guys release a new SDK version.
