> Key: UIMA-2963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2963
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build, Packaging and Test
> Affects Versions: parent-pom-4
> Reporter: Marshall Schor
> Assignee: Marshall Schor
> Fix For: parent-pom-5
>
>
> Currently the UIMA-wide parent pom specifies maven-dependency-plugin version
> 2.3. The currently released version is 2.8. As of version 2.6, a new
> configuration parameter, useBaseName, is available which prevents resolution
> of versions 2.4.1-SNAPSHOT from being converted to 2.4.1-20130303.12345678
> where the last 2 numbers are the snapshot being used. This feature is needed
> to get SNAPSHOT builds working for the new design of Eclipse Runtime
> packaging - where the design embeds Jars inside Jars. Here are the details:
> We build OSGi bundles / Eclipse plugins, which sometimes are collections of
> other Jars. The current best practice is to embed those Jars without
> unpacking them, thus preserving any License/Notice files they may have, etc.
> Felix's maven-bundle-plugin supports this using the packaging "Jar", and the
> instructions _exportcontents, and Embed-Dependency. In this design, the
> dependency section of the POM contains references to all the Jars that have
> packages that are needed. The bundle plugin uses these instructions and the
> Maven dependency information to create a Manifest Bundle-ClassPath entry
> which has the names of the needed dependent Jars.
> Another build step, outside of the Felix bundle step, uses Maven dependency
> plugin's copy-dependencies, to copy the Jars to the target/classes spot,
> where the maven jar plugin looks for building the final Jar; this creates the
> Jars-inside-Jar structure.
> Unfortunately, when uploading Snapshots to Snapshot repositories, Maven
> renames the x.y.z-SNAPSHOT Jar to some name like x.y.z-20130303.12345678
> where the last 2 numbers are the timestamp of the Jar.
> The default for older versions of the maven dependency plugin, when copying
> the Jar from a snapshot repository, is to keep the -20130303.12345678 style
> suffix, instead of using the base name -SNAPSHOT. This convention breaks the
> Felix bundle build, which put into the manifest in multiple spots the name
> using the -SNAPSHOT convention.
> More recent versions of the maven-dependency-plugin (after 2.6) have a new
> configuration parameter, useBaseName, that has Maven use the -SNAPSHOT name
> locally, when fetching from a remote repository. This is the default, in
> version 2.6 and later.
