Hi,
At first, thanks for your attention and time to read.
In our enterprise applications we use MyEclipse 8.5 with
M2Eclipse maven3 plug-in support. Before begining to use maven3, with maven2 we
could specify a variable for the application version in the parent pom, so that
in the child poms we could able to specify the version by the same variable.
That helps us saving our time for updating version number in each project
upgrade and for reusability.
I hope I can clearly demonstrate the problem as the
following piece of code for pom.xml’s.
Now the problem is in maven3 (m2eclipse) it gives a warning
that says “version must be a constant instead of a variable”. I have been
trying lots of variations such as moving out the <version> tag or
swapping the expressions between <projectVersion> and <version>
tags or the other suggestions from the different forum sites, etc.. However,
the solution never comes up.. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but could not
find out yet.
Any help would be appreciated,
Many thanks in advance,
Bariscan
