Hello, I have been using Maven for about a month now and I really like it however, I am having an issue with setting jar versions and I was looking for suggestions on how other people do it.
I basically have a pom for each project I build. In the pom.xml I have the dependencies. We typically version jars here with a 4 digit number so they change each build, unlike say 1.1-SNAPSHOT. So that I do not have to set the dependency versions in each POM, I listed all the versions of the jars in the settings.xml. This has been working good such that I only have to set the version in 1 spot when I do a build Where I run into problems is when I try to build a jar that depends on one I just build and installed in maven. What happens is it gets the pom.xml for that jar I just built and because the pom.xml has variables assigned to the version (which are defined in the settings.xml) I gets confused and says it cannot find the jar version. It does not resolve the variable. If after I build a jar, I go and delete the pom that it adds to the repository then I try to build another jar that depends on that jar I just built, it build fine. Log story short, I probably have the jar versions in the wrong place. I figure they should go in a parent pom but with the parent pom, I have to add it to maven after each update. I suppose I could do that with a simple script but I was just looking for input on how others do this. Besides that issue, I have been using Maven 2.0 and testing Continuum with it and it seems to work well. Thanks in advance!
