I've just started to use the versions plugin. Amazingly useful! It'd be even more if I could get the update-parent goal to work as I need.
Here is what it does when I use it on my project: mvn versions:update-parent [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'versions'. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building commons [INFO] task-segment: [versions:update-parent] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [versions:update-parent] [INFO] Updating parent from 3-SNAPSHOT to 2 ... I've read the rules for version numering in the FAQ, and this seems to be a regular way of numbering my parent pom. Why would it try to upgrade from 3-SNAPSHOT to 2? More surprising: the result is the same if I run 'mvn versions:update-parent -DparentVersion=3-SNAPSHOT' I'd like to use the plugin so that every user get the latest SNAPSHOt of the parent pom. Is there a way to do that? How would you configure the plugin so that it executes at each mvn execution? Or better, follow the regular Maven once-a-day update policy applied to the dependencies. cheers -nodje -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Versions%3Aupdate-parent-usage-tp21125090p21125090.html Sent from the mojo - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
