Hi, Currently we have one application that is divided into six components. We build the entire thing using maven1's multiproject goals. Our certification team is happy with this because they just need to type one command and everything builds.
We are now creating a second application that will reuse some of the components and I can't figure out how to support simple builds for both application. Basically I want to treat the six components as indepent entities -- if Component X is changed, we update its version number, build/deploy, and update the application's pom to use the new version. This is ok for developer's but I imagine the certification team will have a fit. They want simple builds. I looked at maven2's modules support. It seems to me that I should define a pom for each of my applications and these poms should list the modules they need to build. Each component should then include a <parent/> tag describing the application they belong to. One problem is the modules have multiple parents which does not work. Another problem is that the applications may use different versions of the same component. This doesn't even make sense. To be fair, I don't know if the problem is with maven. Our certification people want to build all of the software, but they are use to doing it at the end of a project with one command. How are people dealing with problems like this?
