Gentlemen, I still have problems to understand what is normal and what is not normal with maven and James.
(1) From what goes on on this mailing list I have understood that James Components live their lives quite independently from each other. So, it is normal that in some development phases component1 has version 0.2 in its pom.xml but in other modules' poms component1 version 0.1 is still referenced. (Am I right so far?) Note that in this example the referenced version 0.1 is lover than the trunk version 0.2. There are two principal kinds of references in Maven poms: (i) dependency and (ii) parent. As for dependencies, it is perfectly reasonable for me that component2 depends on component1 version 0.1, whereby there is already the version 0.2 of component1 in the trunk. But as for parent references I am asking myself what can be the reason for distinct versions in the parent's project.version and its child's project.parent.version? Here is an example from the current trunk: apache-jsieve has version 0.6-SNAPSHOT in its pom, but 0.5-SNAPSHOT is referenced in apache-jsieve-assemble's pom as its parent. Both m2e and mvn install complain about that. When I replace 0.5-SNAPSHOT in apache-jsieve-assemble's pom with 0.6-SNAPSHOT it works. Is it a bug? apache-james-mailbox referencing james-project 1.8.1-SNAPSHOT as its parent is another example. Why does it not reference james-project 1.8.2-SNAPSHOT? Generally, which are there situations in which parent reference version lower than parent trunk version make sense? (2) In (1) I spoke about the case when referenced version is lover than the trunk version. Here I am asking about the opposite: hupa-parent references james-project 1.9-SNAPSHOT as its parent but the version of james-project in the trunk is 1.8.2-SNAPSHOT. This cannot be OK, can it? hupa-parent should be fixed to reference james-project 1.8.2-SNAPSHOT as its parent, should it not? (3) Generally, is the following sequence always expected to work and if it does not, is it a reason to file a bug in Jira? rm -Rf $HOME/.m2/repository cd james/current svn update mvn clean install -DskipTests Best, gazda On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Jochen Gazda <gazdahims...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the tips, Eric and Ioan.
