Hi,
I created a resolve-pom-maven-plugin (http://goo.gl/HfHth) that can be
used to replace all variables inside a POM by their actual build settings
and use this resolved POM in the further processing, especially for
uploading it into the local and remote repository.
A famous use case would be that the central build system injects the
project's incremental version from the outside. In this case your POM
would look like this:
<project>
...
<parent>
<groupId>my.group</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</version>
<version>1.0.${injectedBuildNr}</version>
</parent>
<artifactId>child</version>
<properties>
<injectedBuildNr>0-SNAPSHOT</injectedBuildNr>
</properties>
...
</project>
If you call "mvn clean deploy -DinjectedBuildNr=42" a version 1.0.42 of
the "child" would be created and uploaded into the repository. The
artifact does have the correct path
/my/group/child/1.0.42/child-1.0.42.pom in the repository, however if you
look inside the uploaded POM you'll discover that the source POM got
uploaded where the version is still "1.0.${injectedBuildNr}". Any usage of
this "child" module with version "1.0.42" will fail as the dependency
resolution is looking for the "parent" version "1.0.${injectedBuildNr}"
which is not available in the repository.
By using the resolve-pom-maven-plugin like this
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.sap.prd.mobile.ios.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>resolve-pom-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>resolve-pom-props</id>
<goals>
<goal>resolve-pom-props</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
the resolved POM will be uploaded and you can use the version "1.0.42" of
the "child" module as regular dependency.
My question now is if it is a good idea to upload resolved POMs, i.e. POMs
where all property-placeholders got replaced by their actual build
settings?
What are the drawbacks of this approach?
Would it make sense to extend the install and deploy plugin by the
functionality to upload resolved POMs instead of the source POMs?
Kind regards,
Jörn
