Folks,
I have a requirement to do the following:
1. grab the version of a particular artifact
2. place that via into a file visible in the final build
I was thinking of using the resources plugin to do this. However, I
can't seem to find the property to reference that points to a version of
a particular dependency.
What I fell back to is the following:
<properties>
<importantArtifactVersion>1.2.3</importantArtifactVersion>
</properties>
<depenedencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>some.org</groupId>
<artifactId>importantArtifact<artifactId>
<version>${importantArtifactVersion</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Then in the file to be filtered:
ImportantArtifact: ${importantArtifactVersion}
This all works fine, and as a bonus makes things easier to update when
versions are bumped.
However, how will this impact the eventual use of the release plugin?
Will the release plugin look at a dependency, find the version is a
property, look for the property and increment that?
If not, what is a good way of meeting this requirement (other than tell
someone to read the POM or site for a particular released version).
. . . still a Maven newbie
