--------------------------------------
Summary: Automatically resolve snapshot dependencies in
release:prepare
Key: MRELEASE-835
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-835
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.4.1
Reporter: Thorsten Heit
Attachments: maven-release-plugin.patch
mvn release:prepare has a nice feature to automatically resolve snapshot
dependencies in a pom.xml when it detects that there are still unresolved ones.
Unfortunately this only works in interactive mode, and directly breaks the
build in batch mode.
The attached patch adds the following two command-line parameters to
release:prepare so that a user can run release:prepare in fully non-interactive
mode, and doesn't change the actual behaviour when they are not given:
* autoResolveSnapshotDependencies
* autoResolveSnapshotDependenciesMode
*Background:*
Say I have projects A and B, and B depends on A. Both projects are about to be
released at a certain time.
"mvn release:prepare release:perform" does this job quite well and can be
implemented for project A for example on a build server to be run
non-interactively via the build server's web interface.
To release project B in a similar way, i.e. as a non-interactive job on a build
server, this requires that I manually update the snapshot dependencies of B's
pom.xml and check in the modified file before I trigger the job; otherwise the
build would fail.
