Hi,

I have a problem that may be related to this issue.
When I have a dependency to org.apache.stanbol:org.apache.stanbol.enhancer.servicesapi:bundle:0.9-SNAPSHOT , enhancer.parent can not be found by maven because it always searches for version ${stanbol-version}. I use maven 2.2.1. I have Apache Stanbol on my local maven repo, built successfully.

Enclosed, please find an example pom.xml with a simple dependency on enhancer.servicesapi and the output of "mvn clean install -Dstanbol-version=0.9-SNAPSHOT" command.

Best,
-Cihan

Hi,

mvn help:effective-pom (for example) fails with Maven 3 because of
this in most stanbol POMs:

  <parent>
     <groupId>org.apache.stanbol</groupId>
     <artifactId>stanbol-parent</artifactId>
     <version>${stanbol-version}</version>
     <relativePath>parent</relativePath>
   </parent>

And stanbol-version is defined in the parent pom, creating a
chicken-and-egg problem.

For some reason Maven 2 accepts that, but I think it's wrong anyway,
version numbers should be constants in general, and especially when
pointing to the parent pom. I think variable version numbers will
cause problems with the Maven release plugin, at least.

Can we change to constants for version numbers, or what was the idea
behind this?

(workaround is to add -Dstanbol-version=0.9-SNAPSHOT to the mvn
command line in the meantime)
