I have a Maven project that has a parent pom and 5 child poms In the initial version each pom had specific dependencies declared All the projects completed the 'mvn clean deploy' build with success
I wanted to change this to use the dependency management features - where the parent pom declared the dependencies and versions and the child poms just referenced the dependencies I changed the parent and child poms to use dependency management, but then got compilation errors on one of my child projects [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project clearswift-common-gwt: Compilation failure [ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: [ERROR] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.7.0_25). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you. [ERROR] java.lang.AssertionError: typeSig 19 [ERROR] at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.ClassWriter.assembleSig(ClassWriter.java:357) [ERROR] at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.ClassWriter.typeSig(ClassWriter.java:424) ... In attempting to identify the cause, I started by just adding dependency management to my parent pom Simply adding <dependencyManagement> </dependencyManagement> around the dependencies in my parent pom, causes dependencies not be resolved Does anyone have any idea why using dependency management might cause compilation errors - or why just adding dependency management to the parent pom would cause dependency resolution errors Thanks for reading and any help -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Adding-dependency-management-to-parent-pom-causes-errors-tp5784035.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
