Re: Why does my multiproject build revert to taking SNAPSHOT versions of dependencies when I want a specified version?

Bugs have been filed in Jira against various Maven2 versions involving
the dotted notation of properties. Specifically, it seems like
anything before the final dot is sometimes ignored, so
this.is.a.property.version is evaluated as simply version which is
usually project.version.

I'd replace your dots with underlines and see if you have different
results. I moved away from dots entirely the first time this bug hit
me a while back. I can't give you a specific Jira to look at/follow
but I'm sure you could find it/one of them (I feel like there are a
couple).

Aha! If I use use ${version} that seems to fix the problem! Thanks so much!

Thanks, this is a good point and might also help explain some other problems
we've had.

This will very likely cause my novice Maven 2 skills to show, but I can't
just change:
---
        <dependency>
                <groupId>Squid</groupId>
                <artifactId>dbawrappers</artifactId>
                <version>${build.version}</version>
        </dependency>
---
to:
---
        <dependency>
                <groupId>Squid</groupId>
                <artifactId>dbawrappers</artifactId>
                <version>${build_version}</version>
        </dependency>
---

Can I? Won't that break the desired "If no version is specified, use
SNAPSHOT' behavior I'm trying to override for versioned builds?

Thanks,
-Chris
