version number conflicts between maven and microsoft, possible solution

[Henning Groß <h....@tarent.de>]

Hi!
We build solutions for sharepoint AND we use maven repositories.
Theres a problem. Maven plugins rely on the maven version number convention.
For example "1.0.1-SNAPSHOT" Sharepoint will not install the solution. Not 
even "1.0.1". It requires the version number to be four dot-seperated integer 
values.
If I change the version number in the pom.xml to microsoft-compatibility some 
things will not work any more:

- maven deploy plugin wont install snapshots in snapshot repositories
- maven release plugin wont function without user interaction (we need that 
for hudson builds)
- maven assembly plugin propably (not tested) will not be able to remove 
version from filename I guess. 
- a lot of other plugins will fail to work properly

I would love to have an option in the compile plugin which converts maven type 
version numbers to microsoft compatibility.
Like "1.0.1" gets converted to "1.0.1.1" and 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT gets converted to 
something like 1.0.1.0 or something more or less clever.

Some more people up to this? 

By the way, there is a slight chance, I could get my company give me some time 
to implement stuff like this and contribute if there is interest. Until then 
I will continue sending my ideas to this mailing list. Maybe someone of the 
contributors likes the ideas and minds implementing them.
Cheers! 
H.

Hi,

actually in my projects I do not use the  
'npanday.plugin:maven-compile-plugin:generate-assembly-info'-goals.

You can have a look at the implementation in ''

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=de#D6C2iC2Ltlw/components/dotnet-assembler/src/main/java/npanday/assembler/impl/AssemblerContextImpl.java&q=assemblercontext&exact_package=git://github.com/apache/npanday.git&sa=N&cd=2&ct=rc

Alternatively use maven-replacer-plugin to do your own creation...

hope that helped,
Lars
